This font uses rough, brush-like strokes with visibly uneven edges and a dry-ink texture that creates speckling and frayed contours. Forms are largely upright with a compact, slightly condensed feel, and stroke widths fluctuate within each letter as if made with a pressured marker or brush. Counters tend to be small and irregular, terminals are blunt, and joins are simplified, producing a chunky, hand-drawn silhouette. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal rhythm rather than a tightly engineered typographic system.
Best suited to short display text where the textured strokes can remain visible—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, album or event artwork, and bold packaging accents. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or labels, but the rough edges and irregular spacing make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, suggesting urgency and personality over polish. It feels casual and slightly rebellious, with a DIY, zine-like energy that reads as expressive and bold at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering made with a brush or marker, prioritizing tactile texture and spontaneous rhythm. Its simplified structures and heavy, irregular strokes aim to deliver an immediate, attention-grabbing voice with a deliberately imperfect finish.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rough stroke texture, and the alphabet mixes simplified, almost blocky construction with occasional loose curves. Numerals follow the same brushy treatment, with irregular bowls and angled strokes that keep the set cohesive in short strings.
