A rough, brush-drawn print face with thick, uneven strokes and visibly frayed edges that mimic dry-brush ink on paper. Letterforms are largely upright with simplified geometry, but each glyph shows organic variance in stroke width, terminals, and contours, creating a lively, irregular rhythm. Counters are generally open and shapes stay legible at display sizes, while the overall silhouette reads jagged and textured rather than smooth or polished.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, album or event artwork, and packaging that benefits from a rough handmade voice. It can also work for short callouts or labels, but the heavy texture may reduce comfort for long passages at small sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade attitude—expressive and slightly chaotic, like quick marker or brush lettering used for emphasis. It feels energetic and rebellious, with a playful edge that suggests DIY posters, zines, or informal signage.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-brushed lettering in a repeatable typeface, prioritizing expressive texture and impact over typographic regularity. The consistent rough edges and stroke breakup suggest an intentional dry-brush aesthetic meant to feel authentic and spontaneous.
Uppercase forms are compact and punchy with blunt, torn-looking terminals, while the lowercase keeps a casual printed feel with occasional quirky proportions. Numerals follow the same brushy texture and uneven baselines, reinforcing the intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered character.
