A heavy, hand-rendered display face with rounded, slightly condensed forms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes look brushy and ink-saturated, with nicks, drips, and worn spots along edges that create a consistent distressed texture. Curves are broad and simplified, counters stay fairly open, and terminals often end in blunt, slightly ragged cuts. Widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an energetic rhythm and a deliberately imperfect baseline and sidebearing feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, and bold packaging callouts where texture is an asset. It can work for logos or badges that want an intentionally imperfect, printed-by-hand feel; for longer passages, the rough edges and uneven rhythm are likely to become visually busy.
The overall tone is scrappy and lively, mixing a friendly cartoon boldness with gritty, DIY roughness. Its texture reads like stamped or screen-printed lettering, giving it a rebellious, street-level personality that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to emulate rough ink on paper—somewhere between brush lettering and distressed print—while keeping shapes chunky and readable at display sizes. Its irregularities look purposeful, adding character and attitude without collapsing the underlying letterforms.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified hand-inked character, with single-story forms (notably the lowercase a) and simplified shapes that prioritize impact over refinement. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with irregular interior openings and occasional blot-like artifacts that reinforce the worn-print look.
