A rough, hand-rendered display face with brush/marker-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, open constructions and minimal modulation, but the stroke endings fray and taper unpredictably, creating a worn, ink-on-paper texture. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with loose spacing and inconsistent widths that reinforce an improvised, handwritten rhythm. Counters are generally open and round, and terminals often finish with small hooks, flicks, or blunted stubs.
Best used at display sizes where the ragged stroke texture and handmade irregularities can be appreciated—such as posters, titles, packaging, event graphics, album art, or game/film-themed interfaces. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, but the distressed edges and loose rhythm make it less suitable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is scrappy and atmospheric, combining a casual handwritten friendliness with a slightly eerie, distressed edge. It reads as energetic and imperfect—more “found” or hand-painted than polished—making it feel suited to edgy, themed messaging rather than neutral text.
The design appears intended to mimic quick hand lettering made with a dry brush or worn marker, preserving imperfections and edge breakup to evoke grit and mood. Its simplified forms prioritize character and theme over typographic precision, aiming to add instant atmosphere to headings and branded phrases.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar informal construction, with lowercase showing especially simplified, single-storey forms and occasional quirky joins. Numerals echo the same rough rendering, with uneven curves and broken-looking terminals that keep the texture consistent across the set.
