A chunky, hand-rendered sans with heavy, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular outlines. Terminals are rounded and slightly blunted, with subtle waviness and ink-bleed texture that creates a worn, stamped feel. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, and the rhythm is lively due to uneven stroke edges and slightly inconsistent widths across letters. The overall build stays fairly upright and compact, reading as a condensed, bold marker/brush impression rather than a geometric design.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, event flyers, album/playlist artwork, and punchy packaging or labels. It also works well for short UI or social graphics that need a handmade, gritty emphasis, while longer text blocks may feel busy due to the heavy texture and tight counters.
The texture and wobble give the font an energetic, raw tone that feels homemade and imperfect in a deliberate way. It reads as friendly but rough-edged—more zine, poster, and DIY than polished branding—adding attitude and immediacy to short messages.
The design appears intended to emulate bold hand-painted or stamped lettering with natural ink spread and rough printing artifacts. Its goal is to deliver high-impact display type with a lived-in, distressed character while keeping forms readable at headline sizes.
The distressing is consistent across the set, with rough contour noise rather than deep interior erosion, so letter shapes remain recognizable. Numerals match the same chunky brush construction, keeping the set cohesive for punchy headlines and labels.
