A rough, hand-rendered display face with heavy strokes and pronounced texture. Letterforms are built from brushy, uneven outlines with frequent nicks, spikes, and streaked interiors that create a jittery, distressed silhouette. Curves are lumpy and slightly misshapen, terminals often taper or fray, and counters can appear partially filled or ringed by irregular contouring. Overall spacing and glyph proportions feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an improvised, marker-and-ink look rather than geometric precision.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, event flyers, album/playlist artwork, merch graphics, and punchy headlines. It can also work for packaging accents or labels where a handmade, worn-in aesthetic is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading due to the heavy texture and irregular outlines.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone with a DIY energy, like quick lettering on posters or album art. Its scratchy texture and irregular rhythm add urgency and attitude, while the rounded, cartoon-leaning construction keeps it approachable and playful rather than severe.
This design appears intended to mimic expressive, imperfect hand lettering with built-in wear and ink drag, delivering a bold display voice that feels printed, scuffed, and spontaneous. The goal is strong personality and texture-first communication rather than typographic neutrality or continuous-text clarity.
Texture is a defining feature: many glyphs show layered outlines and streaking that will intensify at larger sizes and may soften in small text. The figures and capitals have strong presence and work best when the distressed edges are allowed to remain visible.
