A chunky, brush-driven display face with irregular stroke edges and shifting letter widths. Forms are heavily filled and compact, with counters frequently pinched down or partially closed, creating a dense, inked silhouette. Strokes show sharp flicks and tapered terminals in places, but overall mass stays dark and rounded, with a slightly right-leaning, handwritten rhythm. Spacing and alignment feel deliberately uneven, emphasizing an organic, improvised texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short, bold statements where texture and personality matter: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and expressive branding moments. It also works well for music or event graphics and playful editorial accents, but is less appropriate for long-form reading due to the collapsed counters and irregular rhythm.
The font reads as informal and mischievous, with a lively, homemade energy. Its inky blobs and off-kilter shapes suggest doodles, marker lettering, or expressive brush notes rather than polished typography, giving it a playful, rebellious tone.
The design appears intended to capture an energetic, hand-painted look with maximum ink coverage and a deliberately imperfect finish. By compressing interiors and varying stroke shapes, it prioritizes attitude, spontaneity, and visual punch over refinement.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar hand-rendered construction, with noticeable per-glyph variation that adds character more than consistency. Numerals match the same thick, painted look, and the dense interiors can make small sizes or longer passages feel heavy.
