A chunky, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are rounded and slightly squarish with uneven stroke edges, occasional interior nicks, and subtle ink blots that create a worn, printed texture. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, giving the line a lively rhythm; terminals are generally blunt, and curves (notably in O, C, G, and S) stay full and heavy for strong color on the page.
Works well for posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, and branding that benefits from a handcrafted edge. It also fits event promos, album/mixtape artwork, sticker-style graphics, and social graphics where texture and attitude are more important than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone feels casual and energetic, like marker lettering or rough screen-printed type. Its imperfections read as intentional and tactile, lending a friendly, rebellious personality that suits expressive, non-corporate messaging.
Designed to emulate bold brush or marker lettering with a deliberately weathered finish, balancing readability with expressive texture. The intent appears to be a distinctive, tactile display voice that brings human irregularity and grit to modern layouts.
The distressed detailing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so text blocks keep a coherent handmade texture. In longer lines, the dense black forms and uneven edges create a strong visual presence, making the font better suited to short bursts than quiet reading.
