A rough, marker-like display face with irregular, broken strokes and visibly distressed counters. The letterforms are upright and largely monolinear, but thickness fluctuates subtly as if from uneven ink flow or worn printing. Shapes are simplified and rounded at turns, with frequent gaps, nicks, and soft-edged terminals that create a stamped or scuffed texture. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, slightly unstable rhythm while maintaining clear basic silhouettes for readability at larger sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is a feature: posters, album/mixtape art, event flyers, and bold social graphics. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from a handmade, imperfect print feel, but the distressed details may soften at very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone feels DIY and gritty, mixing a casual handwritten spirit with a worn, photocopied edge. Its imperfect texture reads as rebellious and informal, suggesting zine culture, street posters, or handmade labels rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect ink and worn reproduction, delivering an energetic, handcrafted look with a deliberately distressed surface. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over pristine consistency while keeping familiar letter structures for quick recognition.
Distress is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with many characters showing interrupted strokes and partially filled bowls. Curves tend to be broad and open, helping legibility despite the roughness, while the texture becomes more prominent as lines of text accumulate.
