A hand-drawn, inked display face with rough, broken outlines and visible stroke wobble. Letterforms are condensed overall and loosely constructed, with uneven stroke edges that suggest dry marker or distressed printing. Counters and bowls are irregular and sometimes partially filled, creating a mottled interior texture. Capitals show simplified, slightly serifed block shapes, while lowercase leans more toward sketchy handwritten forms with narrow, upright stems and compact proportions.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text where texture is an asset: posters, titles, album or podcast art, book covers, packaging, and branded graphics with a handcrafted or worn aesthetic. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The texture and imperfect construction give the font a gritty, zine-like character with a mischievous, casual energy. It reads as intentionally imperfect and analog, evoking DIY signage, worn print ephemera, and hand-lettered packaging.
The design appears intended to simulate a rough, hand-inked alphabet with deliberate distressing, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over strict regularity. Its condensed proportions and lively irregularities aim to create strong visual presence at display sizes.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally uneven, reinforcing the handmade impression; round letters (O, Q, 0) show heavy contour variation, and diagonals (V, W, X) look jagged and brushy. Numerals follow the same distressed outline treatment, with particularly playful, irregular curves in 2, 3, and 8.
