A heavy, hand-drawn display face with rounded, blocky letterforms and a visibly roughened silhouette. Strokes read as marker or brush-like, with uneven edges, occasional interior scuffing, and small nicks that create a printed-and-worn texture. Curves are broadly drawn and slightly lumpy, counters are open but irregular, and terminals tend to be blunt with subtle flares and overlaps. Overall spacing feels lively and slightly inconsistent, reinforcing the handmade rhythm while keeping forms legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, album/merch graphics, packaging labels, and promotional materials that benefit from a tactile, hand-printed look. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with generous leading and contrast against clean supporting type.
The texture and wobble give it a DIY, rebellious tone—like hand-inked signage, gig posters, or photocopied zines. It feels energetic and informal, with a friendly roughness that adds attitude without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to simulate thick, hand-inked lettering with an intentionally imperfect, worn print texture—capturing the immediacy of marker lettering and the grit of rough reproduction for high-impact display use.
In longer text the distressed fill creates a dark typographic color, and the internal roughness becomes more pronounced, so breathing room in layout helps. The figures match the same inky, worn construction, making them suitable for headlines and short numeric callouts where texture is a feature rather than a distraction.
