A heavy, hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are built from thick, rounded strokes that taper and swell, creating irregular counters and slightly wobbly curves. The texture suggests dry-brush or rough marker application, with occasional nicks and worn spots that break up the silhouette. Proportions are generally compact with simple, simplified construction, and the overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent in a natural, handwritten way.
Best used at display sizes where the textured edges and stroke variation can read clearly—posters, event promos, album or merch graphics, and bold packaging statements. It also works well for short bursts of copy (tags, quotes, labels) where a gritty, handmade emphasis is desired.
The font conveys an energetic, informal tone with a rugged, street-level attitude. Its rough texture and bold presence feel expressive and human, leaning toward playful urgency rather than refinement. The overall voice is loud and approachable, suited to designs that want a handmade, imperfect edge.
The design appears intended to mimic bold brush or marker lettering with deliberate distress, prioritizing personality and impact over precision. Its consistent roughness and simplified forms suggest a font made for expressive branding and attention-grabbing titles in casual or edgy themes.
In text, the dense strokes and mottled texture stay prominent, giving words a strong blocky color on the page. Rounded shapes like O and e retain a friendly feel, while angular letters like K, V, and W add snap. Numerals match the same rough, painted treatment for cohesive headlines and callouts.
