A hand-drawn, all-caps-forward display face with uneven, brushy strokes and pronounced roughening along both outer edges and interior counters. Letterforms keep an upright stance and generally simple, rounded skeletons, but each glyph shows irregular stroke thickness, wobble, and occasional gaps or dry-brush texture that make the black shapes feel worn and ink-laden. Terminals are blunt and soft rather than sharp, and curves (O/C/G/S) read as loosely sketched rings with visible texture. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an improvised, cut-and-painted rhythm more than a tightly engineered text face.
Best suited to display applications where texture is an asset: posters, event flyers, album/playlist artwork, streetwear or craft packaging, and zine/editorial headers. It can also work for short UI labels or game/title cards when a handmade, distressed voice is desired, but it’s likely to feel busy in long passages of small text.
The overall tone is scrappy and energetic, like quick marker signage or distressed screen print. Its imperfect outlines and jittery ink texture project a casual, mischievous personality—approachable, a bit chaotic, and deliberately unpolished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick hand lettering with worn ink or rough printing, prioritizing character and tactile presence over precision. Its consistent distress and variable stroke behavior suggest a deliberate effort to add analog grit and spontaneity to headlines and branding moments.
Lowercase forms maintain the same rough, drawn quality as the uppercase, and the numerals inherit the same dry-brush wear, helping the set feel cohesive across mixed-case and figures. The texture becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the internal scuffing and edge chatter reads as a key stylistic feature rather than noise.
