A heavy, brush-like display face with rounded, blobby forms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes are thick with occasional tapered ends, and the letterforms show uneven stroke accumulation that reads like wet ink or marker on absorbent paper. Interiors are rough and speckled, creating a mottled texture and slightly porous counters. Spacing and widths are inconsistent in a deliberate, hand-drawn way, producing an animated rhythm across words and lines.
This font suits short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, and attention-grabbing headers where texture is part of the message. It also works well for packaging, merch graphics, social posts, and music or event materials that benefit from a handmade, gritty presence. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve readability and keep the distressed texture from collapsing.
The overall tone is loud, messy, and energetic, with a friendly DIY attitude. Its rough texture and loose construction evoke zines, craft signage, and bold hand-painted messages rather than polished editorial typography. The font feels informal and expressive, balancing playful charm with a gritty, street-level edge.
The design appears intended to simulate bold hand lettering made with a loaded brush or marker, preserving ink bleed, rough edges, and uneven fill for a convincingly analog result. It prioritizes character and texture over precision, aiming for an expressive, human rhythm that feels printed, painted, or stamped rather than digitally clean.
Capitals are compact and chunky, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey handwritten logic with soft joins and occasional wobble. Numerals match the same painted texture and irregular weight, keeping the set visually cohesive. At smaller sizes the interior speckling and tight counters can start to fill in, so it reads best when given room.
