A condensed, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes are thick and taper subtly, with rough, brush-like edges and occasional fraying that creates a textured silhouette. Counters are compact and shapes are simplified, producing strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing, while the baseline and stroke endings remain intentionally uneven for a natural, made-by-hand feel.
This font is best used at display sizes where the rough texture and condensed proportions can create impact—such as posters, headlines, album or playlist artwork, event promotions, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short, high-contrast subheads or pull quotes, but the distressed edges may feel busy in long passages or at very small sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and slightly rebellious, with a gritty, DIY character that reads as playful rather than formal. Its roughened contours and narrow stance give it a punchy, attention-grabbing presence suited to expressive, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering translated into a compact, high-impact print alphabet. Its narrow build and textured terminals prioritize personality and visual punch over uniformity and refinement, aiming for a handcrafted, expressive look.
Uppercase forms tend to be straight-sided and compact, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic details and occasional hook-like terminals. The numerals follow the same distressed, brush-cut logic, keeping the set visually cohesive and poster-forward.
