A heavy, hand-drawn display face with rough, broken contours and subtly uneven fills that mimic dry-brush or worn marker ink. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but edges wobble and chip, creating a distressed silhouette throughout. Letterforms keep simple, readable structures with rounded joins and occasional pinched terminals; counters tend to be small and sometimes lopsided, reinforcing the handmade rhythm. Spacing appears slightly irregular, with glyph widths varying noticeably for a casual, hand-set texture.
Works best for short, high-impact copy where texture is a feature: posters, gig and event flyers, album/cover art, and brand moments that want a handmade edge. It can also add character to labels and packaging, especially in larger sizes where the rough contours and worn details remain visible. For longer passages, it will be most effective in brief callouts or section headers rather than body text.
The overall tone is gritty and DIY, like lettering stamped, brushed, or printed under imperfect conditions. It feels energetic and a bit mischievous, balancing legibility with a rough, street-level attitude. The texture gives text a lived-in, analog character rather than a polished digital finish.
Likely designed to deliver an instantly tactile, imperfect look—capturing the feel of brush lettering or rough print without sacrificing overall readability. The intention appears to be a versatile distressed display style that signals authenticity, grit, and informal energy across contemporary themed design contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough construction, with the lowercase appearing compact and sturdy in running text. Numerals match the distressed treatment and read clearly, making the face cohesive across letters and figures. The texture is consistent enough to function as a font, while still retaining convincing natural variation.
