A rugged, hand-rendered display face with thick, uneven strokes and strongly irregular contours. Letterforms show a marker-or-brush feel: edges are jagged and slightly blobby, joins are lumpy, and counters are inconsistently shaped, producing a lively, imperfect texture across words. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with simplified, chunky construction and occasional angular turns, giving lines of text a bouncing rhythm rather than a strict mechanical cadence.
Best suited to short-form applications like posters, album/cover graphics, event flyers, packaging callouts, and punchy headlines where the distressed texture enhances impact. It can also work for themed UI or titles in games and entertainment projects, but is generally most effective when used at larger sizes where the rough contours stay legible.
The font projects an informal, DIY attitude with a gritty, street-poster energy. Its roughened outlines and inconsistent shapes create a rebellious, crafty tone that feels human and spontaneous rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic bold hand lettering made with a worn brush or marker, prioritizing personality and texture over geometric precision. The intention appears to be a versatile distressed display voice that adds grit and immediacy to titles and branded phrases.
In continuous text, the irregular stroke edges create noticeable color and texture, which becomes a key part of the aesthetic. The numeral set and uppercase share the same chiseled, hand-inked character, supporting cohesive titling and short callouts where the distressed surface can read as intentional wear.
