A rough, inked display face with brush-like strokes and intentionally uneven contours. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with blunt terminals, occasional flicks, and visible wobble along the edges that suggests a marker or dry-brush tool. Strokes are generally heavy with modest internal modulation, producing solid counters and a punchy silhouette; spacing feels lively due to varied widths and slightly inconsistent sidebearings. Uppercase and lowercase share a casual, printed construction rather than connected writing, with simplified shapes and an overall hand-drawn rhythm.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event flyers, album covers, and bold social graphics where the rough brush texture is a feature. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from a handmade, artisanal feel, but is less ideal for dense body copy where the irregular stroke edges may reduce clarity.
The font reads as gritty and informal, balancing a mischievous, zine-like roughness with friendly approachability. Its textured edges and uneven geometry give it an expressive, human tone that feels spontaneous and slightly rebellious rather than polished.
The design appears intended to simulate quickly painted or marker-drawn lettering with a bold, textured edge and casual proportions. Its goal is expressiveness and impact—capturing a handcrafted, imperfect look while remaining legible in display settings.
In longer lines the irregular outlines create a strong texture that can build visual noise, especially at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the brush character and rugged edges. Numerals match the same hand-rendered texture and weight, supporting cohesive headline or poster compositions.
