A heavy, hand-rendered display face with chunky strokes and irregular, brushy contours. The letterforms show roughened edges, occasional ink-like blobs, and uneven stroke terminals that create a mottled silhouette. Proportions lean compact and condensed, with small counters and simplified interior shapes that prioritize mass and impact over precision. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a loose, handmade rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, music or event promos, and packaging where a rough, handmade texture is desirable. It works well for short headlines, logos, and title treatments, especially when you want an intentionally imperfect, gritty voice.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—like painted signage, rough screen-printing, or a fast marker scrawl. Its uneven texture and blunt forms feel rebellious and casual, with a slightly humorous, cartoonish edge when set in short phrases.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect paint or marker lettering and to introduce a tactile, distressed character into modern display typography. The goal appears to be instant visual punch with a deliberately rough, organic finish rather than typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly rugged construction, with the lowercase remaining sturdy and rounded rather than delicate. Numerals match the same ink-heavy texture and irregularity, keeping a consistent distressed tone throughout longer text samples.
