A condensed, upright hand-drawn style with thick, brushy strokes and pronounced texture throughout. Edges are uneven and the interior counters show organic wobble, creating a rough-printed look. Letterforms are simple and legible at display sizes, with a slightly bouncy rhythm and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the handmade character.
Well suited for posters, headlines, album or podcast artwork, packaging accents, and social graphics where a gritty handmade voice helps the message stand out. It can also work for short pull quotes, stickers, and event branding, especially when paired with a calmer body typeface for longer text.
This face feels handmade and spirited, with a casual, slightly rebellious energy. The roughened texture and ink-like irregularities give it a lived-in, indie tone that reads as playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic marker or dry-brush lettering captured with imperfect ink coverage. Its controlled roughness and condensed footprint suggest a goal of delivering strong impact while retaining an informal, human touch.
The numerals and uppercase carry the same textured stroke behavior as the lowercase, keeping the set visually consistent. The overall spacing feels tuned for compact display setting, and the distressed details become clearer as the size increases.
