A heavy, forward-leaning display style with irregular, distressed contours that look carved or scratched into the strokes. Curves are chunky and rounded, while terminals frequently break into jagged notches and taper-like flicks, creating a turbulent texture across words. Proportions are lively and inconsistent by design, with varied stroke flare and uneven edges that emphasize motion and grit over smooth precision.
Best suited for short display applications where texture and attitude are desirable, such as posters, headlines, cover art, event promotions, and punchy social graphics. It can also work for themed packaging or title treatments where a rough, hand-made look supports the concept. For longer passages or small sizes, the busy edges and irregular rhythm may reduce readability, so it’s strongest when given room to breathe.
This face projects a loud, playful energy with a mischievous edge. The rough, torn-looking contours and bouncy rhythm give it a handmade, rebellious tone that feels more expressive than polite or formal.
The design appears intended as an expressive display font that trades typographic refinement for character and impact. Its distressed edge treatment and energetic slant are tuned to create a dynamic, slightly chaotic voice that stands out quickly at a glance.
The distressed detailing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a uniform ‘rough print’ color in text blocks. Curved letters retain solid counters, while many straight strokes end with chipped, blade-like terminals that reinforce the energetic, cut-paper/etched feel.
