A rough, hand-drawn display face with scratchy outlines and uneven stroke edges that mimic dry brush or distressed marker lettering. Forms are upright but irregular, with noticeable wobble in curves and inconsistent terminals that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are often partially filled or ringed by repeated strokes, and several glyphs show layered contouring that adds texture and contrast. Proportions vary from character to character, giving the alphabet an intentionally unrefined, handmade presence.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the distressed detailing can be appreciated—posters, album covers, event promos, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for thematic titling in games or video content where a gritty, handmade voice is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels gritty and energetic, like DIY poster lettering or zine-era headline type. Its rough texture and jittery contours read as rebellious and informal, balancing menace with a playful, scribbled charm.
Likely drawn to deliver a deliberately imperfect, distressed handwritten voice that feels tactile and immediate. The design emphasizes texture, irregularity, and expressive contours over neutrality, aiming for a bold, characterful display style.
The texture is a core part of the design: many letters show frayed edges, small gaps, and double-stroked contours that can appear darker in tight settings. Numerals follow the same distressed construction, keeping the set visually cohesive while preserving the spontaneous, hand-rendered look.
