A chunky, marker-like hand style with dense strokes, rounded terminals, and visibly ragged edges that mimic ink bleed and dry-brush breakup. Forms are mostly upright with a steady baseline, but widths and curves vary from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be small and irregular, and many joins look pressed or smeared, reinforcing a tactile, drawn-on-paper feel. Overall spacing reads compact, with heavy texture carrying more visual weight than precise geometry.
This font suits attention-grabbing display work such as posters, flyers, album/cover art, apparel graphics, and bold social media titles where texture is a feature. It can also work for casual packaging or branding accents when you want an informal, handmade voice, but it’s best used in short bursts rather than long body copy.
The texture and irregularity give the face a raw, DIY attitude—loud, casual, and a little unruly. It feels expressive and human, leaning toward street-poster energy rather than polished penmanship.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of a thick brush or marker—prioritizing expressive texture and impact over uniform letterfit and refined outlines. Its consistent roughness suggests a deliberate choice to evoke hand-painted signage and DIY print aesthetics.
At text sizes the rough edges merge into a strong black presence, while larger sizes reveal the distinctive brush artifacts and wobbly contours. The numerals and capitals match the same inky, imperfect construction, keeping the set visually consistent for short statements and mixed-case display.
