A tall, condensed handwritten print with a dry-brush texture and visibly ragged edges. Strokes show irregular pressure and tapering, with occasional breaks and frayed terminals that mimic a marker running dry. Bowls and counters stay fairly open for a distressed style, while verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the alphabet a narrow, upright silhouette. Spacing and widths vary by character in a natural, hand-drawn way, creating an uneven but intentional texture in lines of text.
This font works best in display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, product packaging, labels, event graphics, and album or book covers. It can also support short subheads or pull quotes where a handcrafted, slightly worn look adds atmosphere.
The overall tone is handmade and slightly gritty, with an energetic, playful roughness. It feels casual and personal—like quick signage or a sketchy poster—adding character and a touch of rebellion without becoming fully chaotic.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, hand-drawn lettering made with a dry brush or marker, combining narrow proportions with a controlled, repeatable distress. Its goal is to deliver a recognizable handmade voice that stands out in titles while keeping basic letterforms readable.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture reads as a deliberate stylistic system rather than random noise. Uppercase forms are especially tall and attention-grabbing, while lowercase maintains a legible, straightforward construction suited to short text blocks.
