A slanted, hand-drawn display face built from loose marker/brush strokes with prominent streaking and broken fill. Letterforms lean forward and vary in stroke placement, with interiors often carved by diagonal stripes that create a dry-brush texture. Curves are open and irregular, terminals taper or fray, and counters are frequently interrupted, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm. Proportions are generally compact, with occasional bounce and uneven widths that reinforce the improvised, sketchy construction.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, flyers, packaging accents, social graphics, and music/event branding where texture and motion are assets. It works well for energetic headlines and punchy taglines, while extended copy is more effective when used sparingly, at larger sizes, and with comfortable tracking and leading.
The font projects a mischievous, impulsive tone—like quick lettering made at speed with a felt-tip or paint marker. Its scratchy texture and animated slant suggest spontaneity, noise, and attitude, reading as intentionally unruly rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, one-off brush lettering with an intentionally distressed, streaked fill—prioritizing personality and movement over uniformity. Its consistent forward slant and repeating scratch texture suggest a deliberate system for creating a rough, animated look across the alphabet and numerals.
In longer text the repeating stripe texture becomes the dominant motif, giving a strong pattern-like grain across lines. The stylization can reduce clarity at small sizes, but it adds a distinctive visual voice when set large or with generous spacing.
