A heavy, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and noticeably uneven contours. Letterforms are built from chunky, simplified shapes with irregular edges, occasional internal scuffs, and visible stroke wobble that suggests a quick marker or dry-brush texture. Terminals are blunt and inconsistent, curves show slight flattening and jitter, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters tend to be compact, and the overall silhouette reads dark and punchy with a deliberately rough finish.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing applications such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and cover/album art where texture and personality are desired. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes, but the rough edges and dense ink coverage are more effective at display sizes than for extended reading.
The tone is informal and expressive, with a scrappy, handmade energy. Its rough texture and uneven geometry give it a zine-like, DIY attitude that feels friendly and a bit mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand lettering with a worn, inked texture, prioritizing personality and impact over geometric precision. Its irregular stroke behavior and distressed surface seem crafted to add immediacy and a tactile, printed-by-hand feel to contemporary display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged drawing style, and the numerals carry the same distressed, brushy construction for cohesive titling. The texture becomes a defining feature in longer text, adding character but also increasing visual noise at smaller sizes.
