A chunky, hand-drawn display face with compact proportions and a tight, vertical stance. Letterforms are built from angular, block-like strokes with uneven edges and slight wobble, giving the impression of cut paper or heavy marker shapes that were refined by hand. Corners are often squared off, counters are small and sometimes off-center, and stroke joins vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Uppercase forms feel more squared and sign-like, while lowercase keeps the same carved, irregular construction with simplified bowls and short extenders.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album/cover graphics, packaging callouts, and sticker-style branding. It can work in short captions or subheads when sized up and spaced comfortably, but the dense shapes and rough detailing favor display use over long reading.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its rough edges and compact forms read as bold and a bit rebellious, but still playful enough for informal, creative messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, hand-cut or brush-drawn lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish, prioritizing attitude and texture over geometric precision. It aims to deliver a compact, punchy presence that feels handmade and contemporary.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, with noticeable variation in stroke endings and interior shapes that adds personality at larger sizes. Because counters are tight and shapes are dense, clarity improves when given breathing room through generous tracking and line spacing.
