A condensed, hand-drawn display face with heavy brush-like strokes and visibly rough, broken edges. Letterforms are upright with a straightforward, mostly monoline construction that gains interest from pressure-like swelling, occasional tapering, and irregular ink texture inside counters and along terminals. Curves are rounded and slightly uneven, joins are soft, and spacing feels intentionally loose and varied, reinforcing the hand-rendered rhythm. Numerals match the chunky, painted quality and maintain the same distressed surface and simplified shapes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and bold social media headlines. It also works well for logos or brand marks that want a handcrafted, slightly gritty presence, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the texture can read clearly.
The font communicates an energetic, DIY attitude—like signage made quickly with a marker or paintbrush. Its scuffed texture adds grit and immediacy, giving it a streetwise, handmade character that feels informal and bold rather than refined.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately weathered imprint—prioritizing personality and impact over precision. Its condensed proportions and strong silhouettes suggest use in display contexts where space is tight but a handmade tone is desired.
The distressed detailing is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive worn-print effect. At smaller sizes the interior texture and rough edges may visually fill in, while larger settings emphasize the tactile brush grain and irregular outlines.
