A heavy, solid display face with irregular, hand-inked contours and slightly wobbly strokes. Many counters are reduced, partially blocked, or fully filled, creating strong silhouettes and occasional “punched” highlights inside bowls. Terminals tend to be blunt and uneven, with subtle waviness along verticals and horizontals; curves look swollen and organic rather than geometric. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade rhythm and a deliberately imperfect texture in running text.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, and bold branding moments where texture is desirable. It can also work for packaging accents or merch graphics, but it is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to the frequent counter collapse.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a gritty, DIY character that feels more like stamped or painted lettering than a polished text font. Its collapsed interiors and rough edges add a slightly chaotic, underground energy that reads as fun, raw, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to capture a raw, hand-made print effect—somewhere between stamp lettering and thick marker paint—prioritizing texture and impact over typographic cleanliness. Collapsed interiors and uneven edges seem purposeful to create a distinctive, solid mass on the page.
Legibility is highly dependent on size because several letters and numerals lose internal differentiation when counters close up (for example, round forms and double-bowl shapes). The font’s personality comes through strongest in short words where the solid, irregular silhouettes can be read as graphic shapes as much as letterforms.
