A distressed, hand-drawn sans with narrow proportions and a noticeably irregular stroke texture. Strokes show jitter, waviness, and occasional breaks, creating rough edges and a slightly blotchy, ink-on-paper feel. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, direct construction, but widths and internal spaces vary from glyph to glyph, giving an uneven rhythm. Contrast appears inconsistent within and across characters, with some strokes thinning sharply while others thicken or pool at terminals, reinforcing the worn, sketch-like look.
Well-suited for display settings such as posters, cover art, event graphics, and packaging where a rough, analog texture adds character. It can also work for short headlines or pull quotes in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The font communicates a raw, handmade attitude—casual, gritty, and slightly chaotic rather than refined. Its imperfect outlines and variable rhythm suggest DIY craft, zine culture, and expressive note-taking, with a playful edge that keeps the distress from feeling purely harsh or industrial.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, inked lettering with purposeful wear and irregularity, prioritizing personality and texture over precision. Its narrow stance and upright structure keep words compact while the distressed outlines provide a strong thematic signal.
In running text, the rough texture and uneven spacing become a prominent visual layer, so it reads best when the distressed surface is meant to be seen. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sketchy treatment, helping maintain a consistent, hand-inked personality across mixed content.
