A heavy, chunky display face with uneven, hand-cut contours and soft, blobby terminals. Strokes maintain an overall uniform thickness, but edges are consistently rough and wavy, creating a printed-from-a-worn-block look. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially pinched, while letterforms stay broadly simple and readable. Spacing and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited to display use where texture is an advantage: posters, event flyers, album/cover art, packaging, and bold social graphics. It also works well for short labels and punchy titles that benefit from a gritty, handcrafted presence; for longer text, the rough contours can become visually dense.
The overall tone is mischievous and scrappy, with a DIY, zine-like energy. It reads as friendly rather than severe—more comic and craft-oriented than industrial—while still delivering strong visual impact.
Likely designed to emulate a rough, hand-printed or marker-blocked aesthetic with intentional edge wear and ink spread. The goal appears to be maximum personality and impact through irregular silhouettes while keeping letter recognition straightforward.
Uppercase forms feel compact and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same rugged texture for consistent texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same blunt, distressed silhouette, helping headlines and short callouts keep a unified, stamped appearance.
