A heavy, rounded display face with irregular, roughened contours that feel brush- or marker-made. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with soft, blobby terminals and small notches and bumps along edges that create a worn, stamped look. Counters are generally open and simple, while curves and joins stay slightly lopsided, giving the alphabet an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing reads loose and informal, with noticeable glyph-to-glyph variation that reinforces the handmade texture.
Best used for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and branding where a rough handmade texture is desirable. It suits music and street-culture visuals, event flyers, stickers, and apparel graphics, and performs most confidently at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated.
The texture and uneven silhouettes give it a gritty, DIY tone that still reads friendly and approachable. It suggests energetic, rebellious fun—like hand-painted signage or rough screen-printed lettering—more playful than intimidating.
The design appears intended to deliver bold legibility while embedding an intentionally worn, hand-rendered texture. Its simplified construction and consistent roughness point to a display font built to add attitude and tactile character to titles and branding.
The distressed edging is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive in longer text. The sample paragraph shows strong word-shape presence at large sizes, with a lively baseline and chunky forms that prioritize character over precision.
