A heavy, hand-drawn sans with chunky, uneven strokes and visibly jagged edges, as if cut from paper or painted with a dry brush. The letterforms are compact and simplified, with rounded, sometimes slightly pinched counters and an overall right-leaning, forward-slanted posture. Curves and diagonals are lumpy and irregular, producing a lively rhythm; terminals tend to end in blunt, torn-looking shapes rather than clean cuts. Spacing feels loose and variable from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the informal, handmade construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, cover art, and bold packaging where texture and attitude are desired. It can also work for event promotions, stickers, and merchandise graphics, especially when paired with simple supporting type for longer copy.
The font conveys a mischievous, scrappy energy—casual and intentionally unpolished. Its rough texture and bouncy silhouettes suggest DIY culture, skate/zine aesthetics, and bold, attention-grabbing messaging rather than refined neutrality.
The design appears intended to emulate expressive, handmade lettering with a deliberately rough finish—prioritizing personality and punch over precision. Its forward-leaning stance and uneven stroke edges are geared toward energetic display use where imperfection is a feature.
Counters can close up in smaller sizes due to the thick, uneven outlines, and some glyphs show notable idiosyncrasies (e.g., angular joints and irregular bowls) that increase character but reduce strict uniformity. The numerals match the same chiseled, wobbly construction, keeping the set visually consistent.
