A condensed, hand-drawn display face with tall proportions and visibly irregular stroke edges. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick, blobby terminals and occasional hairline-like interior streaks that suggest dry-brush or dragged-ink texture. Curves are slightly lumpy and counters can be uneven, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm; round forms (O, Q, 0) read as organically oval, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a firm vertical stance despite rough contours. Overall spacing feels tight and glyph widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a handmade, distressed print look.
Best suited to short, punchy text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and bold packaging moments where texture adds personality. It can work well for music- and culture-oriented graphics, zines, or themed titles that benefit from an imperfect, hand-printed feel rather than clean body-text clarity.
The texture and wobble give the font a scrappy, DIY attitude—energetic, mischievous, and a bit gritty. It feels informal and expressive, like lettering made quickly with a marker or brush and then reproduced with imperfect ink coverage.
The design appears intended to capture a distressed hand-lettered aesthetic—condensed and upright for impact, but deliberately roughened to mimic worn printing, dry-brush ink, or imperfect reproduction.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the distressed interiors and ragged outlines read as intentional texture rather than noise. The numerals share the same rugged finishing, with simplified forms and heavy weight spots that help them stand out in bold, attention-getting settings.
