A rough, hand-rendered display face with irregular, broken contours and a high-contrast stroke pattern that alternates between heavy inked masses and thin, scratchy connections. Letterforms are upright but intentionally uneven, with variable character widths, inconsistent stroke terminals, and occasional interior gaps that read like worn printing or dry-brush marks. Curves and bowls are lumpy and organic, while stems and cross-strokes often taper or fray, creating a jittery rhythm across words.
Best suited to short-form settings where texture and attitude matter more than pristine readability, such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album art, and event graphics. It can also work for themed titling in horror, punk/DIY, or distressed editorial treatments, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges remain legible.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous, balancing handmade warmth with a slightly unsettling, distressed edge. It feels energetic and informal, evoking DIY posters, zines, and rough signage where texture and imperfection are part of the message.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed hand lettering—like uneven ink coverage, worn wood type, or a dry brush—while keeping an upright structure that still reads quickly in display use.
Uppercase forms tend to be bolder and more blocky, while lowercase letters skew thinner and more wiry, increasing contrast between cases. The numerals appear cleaner and more conventional than many of the letters, which can help with quick recognition but may also make mixed text feel deliberately eclectic.
