A chunky, monoline display face built from squarish, angular forms with visibly rough, hand-rendered edges. Strokes maintain a largely even thickness, but the outlines wobble and corners blunt or flare, creating an intentionally imperfect texture. Counters tend to be boxy and open, with simplified construction and occasional idiosyncratic joins; spacing and widths vary by glyph, adding an uneven, cut-out rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel especially geometric, while lowercase retains the same boxy logic with compact bowls and short, straight terminals.
Well-suited for short headlines and branded phrases in posters, event flyers, album/mixtape art, game title screens, and expressive packaging. It works best when you want a bold, handmade look with an offbeat, DIY personality rather than neutral text typography.
The font projects a mischievous, homemade energy—part stencil/marker doodle, part lo-fi arcade or zine lettering. Its irregular contours and blocky geometry give it a gritty, tactile tone that feels experimental and slightly chaotic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a rough-hewn, blocky display voice with deliberate irregularities—combining geometric, almost pixel-like structure with hand-drawn texture to create a distinctive, one-off feel.
Legibility holds up best at display sizes where the rough outline and quirky proportions read as character rather than noise. The square counters and angular curves create a strong pixel-adjacent silhouette, but the hand-ink texture keeps it from feeling purely digital.
