A heavy, irregular sans with thick strokes and conspicuously uneven outlines, as if drawn with a marker or cut from paper. Letterforms are generally upright with simple, largely monoline construction, but edges are jagged and corners are blunted, creating a torn or chiseled silhouette. Counters are small and asymmetrical, spacing is lively and inconsistent, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a restless, hand-rendered rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky massing and rough contour treatment, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and other display applications where a rugged, hand-made texture is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of text in entertainment contexts (e.g., games or music-related graphics), but extended reading is better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone feels raw and energetic, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its rough contours read as informal and expressive rather than polished, lending a mischievous, street-art edge while still staying broadly legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a deliberately rough, handmade sans voice—prioritizing personality and visual texture over geometric precision. Its inconsistent contours and compact counters suggest an expressive display face built to evoke DIY print, brush/marker lettering, or cutout-style graphics.
In text settings the uneven stroke edges create a strong dark texture and can visually clump at smaller sizes, especially where counters are tight. The design relies more on silhouette and weight than on internal detail, so it tends to perform best when given room and contrast against a clean background.
