A condensed, hand-rendered display face with tall proportions and energetic, brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms show deliberate irregularity and textured interiors, as if drawn with a dry marker or rough ink pass, creating broken edges and uneven counters. Strokes fluctuate between thick verticals and thinner joins, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, handcrafted rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt or slightly tapered, with occasional wobble in curves and diagonals that reads as intentionally distressed rather than mechanical.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, album or book covers, packaging callouts, labels, and event flyers where a handcrafted, distressed voice is desired. It can also work for branding accents and merchandise graphics when used with ample tracking and clean supporting text.
The overall tone is scrappy and human, combining a playful handwritten feel with a worn, inky grit. It evokes DIY printmaking, sketchbook lettering, and casual signage—friendly but slightly rebellious, with an artsy, imperfect charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold handmade look with intentional wear and texture, offering the immediacy of brush lettering while keeping a compact, space-efficient silhouette for impactful display typography.
Capitals are narrow and emphatic, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and character through varied bowls and ascenders. Numerals keep the same textured, hand-inked texture, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. The strong vertical emphasis and tight footprint make it visually assertive even at modest sizes, though the interior distressing becomes a defining feature at larger display scales.
