A hand-drawn, all-caps and lowercase Latin design with thick, ink-like strokes and visibly rough, broken edges. Letterforms are generally upright with a slightly uneven baseline and irregular stroke widths that suggest a marker or brush laid down on absorbent paper. Counters are small-to-moderate and often lumpy, and terminals end bluntly with occasional hooked or flared finishes. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm that reads more like distressed handwriting than engineered text type.
Best suited to display contexts where texture is an asset: posters, event graphics, album/cover art, game titles, packaging, and short pull quotes. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, but its irregular outlines and uneven rhythm are most effective when used for headings, labels, and punchy lines rather than long-form reading.
The texture and wobble give the font a raw, homemade feel—casual, a bit scruffy, and intentionally imperfect. It evokes DIY posters, spooky or campy titles, and analog printing artifacts, balancing legibility with a mischievous, rough-around-the-edges personality.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect, hand-inked lettering with a worn print texture, delivering an analog, distressed look without losing basic character recognition. Its variable glyph widths and deliberately rough contours prioritize atmosphere and personality over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel more display-oriented, while the lowercase shows stronger handwritten character with more irregular joins and bowls. Numerals match the same distressed texture and remain clear at moderate sizes, though the rough contours can darken and clump in very small settings or dense paragraphs.
