A chunky, hand-rendered print face with compact proportions and a slightly right-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with visibly ragged edges, subtle wobble, and occasional blobby terminals that suggest a marker or brush on absorbent paper. Counters tend to be small and asymmetric, and curves and straights show intentional unevenness, giving the alphabet an energetic, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and glyph widths vary from letter to letter, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand character while remaining readable in short lines.
Best suited to short display text where texture and personality are an asset: posters, flyers, album/playlist artwork, zines, merch graphics, and punchy social headers. It can also work for packaging accents or labels when you want an intentionally rough, handmade note, but the heavy texture makes it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is raw, informal, and a bit rebellious—more zine-and-poster than polished branding. Its rough texture and bouncy shapes feel lively and approachable, with a gritty edge that can add attitude to headlines.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick hand lettering—thick, inky strokes with imperfect edges—while staying structured enough to function as a readable print alphabet. It prioritizes mood, texture, and attitude over geometric precision.
Capitals are tall and compact, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward printed construction rather than connecting. Numerals share the same heavy, scuffed texture and slightly uneven baseline behavior, making them feel consistent with the letterforms in display settings.
