A compact, heavy handwritten print with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly rough, torn edges that mimic dry ink or a worn marker. Letterforms are mostly upright with slightly irregular proportions, loose curve geometry, and a variable rhythm that feels drawn rather than constructed. Counters are relatively small and shapes are simplified, keeping the texture prominent; terminals often end bluntly or with small flares, and the overall spacing reads tight and compact in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, flyers, punchy headlines, cover art, and casual packaging. It can also work for emphasis in social graphics or branding elements where a handmade, gritty voice is desired.
The texture and irregularity give it a raw, energetic tone that feels DIY and informal. It suggests attitude and spontaneity, balancing a friendly, doodled feel with a slightly distressed, street-poster edge.
The design appears intended to emulate bold hand-painted or marker lettering, prioritizing expressive texture and impact over uniformity. Its compact shapes and rugged outlines aim to deliver an immediate, tactile presence in display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase are distinct but share the same rugged stroke treatment, helping the font stay cohesive across longer lines. Numerals follow the same chunky, hand-inked logic and remain recognizable, with the rough outline providing character more than precision.
