A condensed, hand-drawn print style with narrow proportions and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes are slightly variable with rough, ragged edges that mimic a dry brush or worn marker, producing small kinks and tapering at terminals. Counters are irregular and slightly pinched, and curves look subtly faceted rather than smoothly geometric. Overall spacing is somewhat inconsistent, reinforcing an improvised, handmade look while remaining legible in short lines of text.
Best suited to display use where its rough texture and condensed presence can carry mood—posters, titles, book or game covers, and themed graphics. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the distressed edges and irregularity make it less ideal for long-form reading or small UI text.
The texture and wobble give the font a raw, homemade personality that feels rustic and quirky, with a hint of eerie or distressed character. It reads as informal and expressive rather than polished, suggesting something crafted by hand for atmosphere and attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate quick hand lettering with a dry, textured tool, prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic refinement. Its condensed build and uneven contours aim to deliver a bold, handmade voice that stands out in expressive display settings.
Uppercase forms are simple and upright with uneven stroke edges, while lowercase letters keep a modest x-height and maintain the same roughened contour. Numerals match the hand-rendered feel, with slightly irregular bowls and angled strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
