A rough, brush-ink display face with compact proportions and visibly irregular stroke edges. Forms are built from firm, mostly straight stems and simplified bowls, with frequent wedge-like terminals and occasional flared joins that mimic a dry marker or worn brush. Stroke texture varies within each letter, creating broken edges and slight interior nicks; counters stay relatively open for the style, and the overall construction remains largely monoline in feel despite the distressed stroke breakup. Spacing reads somewhat tight and lively, and the digits follow the same hand-cut, inked rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, album/cover art, event flyers, and expressive packaging. It also works well for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts that want a handmade, slightly gritty accent rather than a clean typographic voice.
The overall tone is casual and energetic, with a DIY, zine-like grit. Its imperfect outlines and punchy silhouettes give it a friendly rebelliousness—more street-poster and sketchbook than polished branding. The texture adds urgency and character, keeping even simple words feeling animated and human.
Designed to deliver an immediate hand-made impact through distressed ink texture and compact, punchy letterforms. The goal appears to be a legible but characterful display style that reads like quickly brushed signage or rough-printed lettering, prioritizing attitude and rhythm over smooth precision.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered logic, with simplified, slightly condensed shapes and a steady vertical stance. The distressed treatment is strong enough to be a defining feature, but the letter skeletons remain clear in running text at display sizes. Rounded letters (like O/C) show uneven curvature and pressure changes, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) emphasize sharp, brushy corners.
