A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular, brushy strokes and noticeably distressed edges. Letterforms are built from chunky, uneven contours with frequent nicks, pinholes, and blot-like texture that reads like ink bleed or rough printing. Counters are compact and inconsistently shaped, and curves wobble slightly, giving the set an organic, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing feels loose and lively, and the numerals carry the same rough, painted construction for a consistent, all-caps poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, album or podcast artwork, event promotion, and bold packaging where texture and impact are desirable. It can also work for punchy headlines in editorial or social graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is gritty and energetic, evoking DIY signage, zines, and bold street-level graphics. Its rough texture adds attitude and a slightly chaotic charm, balancing toughness with a playful, handmade immediacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handmade, distressed imprint—like brush-painted lettering reproduced through imperfect printing. It prioritizes character, texture, and immediacy over refinement, aiming for a bold, expressive voice in attention-grabbing contexts.
The distressed treatment is baked into the silhouettes, so texture remains prominent even in larger text blocks. The most successful impression comes from short bursts of copy where the rough edge detail can read as intentional character rather than noise.
