A heavy, hand-rendered display face with thick strokes, uneven contours, and visibly rough, chipped edges. Letterforms are compact and chunky with variable stroke behavior that suggests a loaded brush or ink marker, including occasional blobs, nicks, and irregular counters. Curves are slightly flattened and terminals tend to end abruptly, creating a dense, stamped look with lively texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same bold, imperfect construction for a consistent, gritty color on the page.
Well-suited for headlines and short, high-impact text on posters, flyers, and social graphics where a gritty handmade texture is desirable. It also fits branding accents for streetwear, skate, music, or craft products, and can add character to packaging, stickers, and merch. Best used at display sizes to preserve the distressed detail.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a DIY immediacy that feels informal and tactile. Its rough texture reads as rebellious and streetwise while still staying approachable and slightly cartoonish, making the voice more playful than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through bold massing and rough, analog texture, capturing the feel of hand-inked lettering or worn print. The goal appears to be an expressive, attention-grabbing display voice that feels authentic, tactile, and deliberately unpolished.
Texture is a major part of the design: the interior shapes and edges vary from glyph to glyph, producing a deliberately imperfect rhythm that adds motion and visual noise. The dense black fill and rugged silhouette create strong presence at larger sizes, while the distressed detailing may become busy at small sizes or in long passages.
