A compact, hand-drawn print face with dense strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are narrow and tall with uneven stroke edges that resemble a dry brush or marker, creating a textured, slightly torn silhouette. Curves are simplified and corners often pinch or fray, while terminals vary between blunt chops and tapered flicks. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an organic rhythm while maintaining clear, readable shapes in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desirable: posters, music or podcast artwork, event flyers, skate/DIY branding, and bold pull quotes. It can work for short bursts of text, but the rough outlines and tight proportions are most effective in headlines, labels, and punchy captions.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a DIY, photocopied-poster feel. It reads informal and expressive—more like hand-lettered signage than polished typography—bringing a slightly mischievous, street-level attitude to headlines and short lines of text.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a dry, inked texture—prioritizing character and impact over geometric precision. Its narrow, tall proportions and ragged edges suggest a goal of creating an assertive display voice that feels handmade and imperfect in a controlled way.
Lowercase forms keep a straightforward printed construction (unconnected) but retain pronounced texture and wobble, which becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals share the same rough, hand-rendered edge quality and work best when their unevenness is treated as a feature rather than a flaw.
