A tall, tightly set hand-drawn display with heavy strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are condensed with small internal counters and a slightly wavering baseline rhythm, creating a compressed vertical texture. Strokes show blunt terminals, uneven ink coverage, and mild edge erosion that reads like marker or stamped ink, with occasional pinched joins and narrowed apertures. Overall proportions lean narrow and upright, with consistent height but intentionally inconsistent stroke boundaries that add grit.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desired: posters, headlines, album or book covers, and themed packaging. It also fits DIY editorial work such as zines or event flyers, especially when paired with cleaner supporting text for body copy.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade attitude with a quirky, slightly eerie undertone. Its distressed, inky texture suggests DIY printmaking or worn signage, giving text a raw, imperfect energy rather than polished neutrality.
Likely drawn to mimic imperfect ink on paper—somewhere between a marker sketch and a worn stamp—prioritizing personality and atmosphere over typographic precision. The condensed build and heavy color appear aimed at creating punchy, space-efficient display lines with a deliberately rugged finish.
In running text, the tight width and dark color create strong vertical patterning, while the rough edges add visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes. Uppercase and lowercase share the same condensed, elongated stance, keeping headings cohesive, but the distressed shapes favor short phrases over long reading.
