A rough, hand-drawn print with heavy, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are simplified and compact with a lively, uneven rhythm, showing wobbly stems, lumpy curves, and occasional wedge-like terminals that feel pressed or dragged rather than mechanically drawn. Counters tend to be small and sometimes asymmetric, and the overall texture is mottled and slightly distressed, creating a strong, stamp-and-ink impression in lines of text.
Well-suited for display applications where a bold, tactile, handmade voice is desired—such as posters, cover art, packaging callouts, event flyers, and zine-style layouts. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics when the goal is an intentionally rough, informal headline.
The font conveys an energetic, scrappy tone—casual and expressive, with a touch of grit. Its imperfect edges and inconsistent stroke behavior suggest spontaneity and attitude, making it feel more streetwise and playful than refined or formal.
Likely designed to capture a quick, inked marker/brush feel with deliberately imperfect edges and an assertive, condensed presence. The emphasis appears to be on personality and texture over typographic polish, aiming for strong visual punch in headlines and slogans.
In running text it produces a dense, high-impact color with prominent texture, so spacing and shapes read best at display sizes. The mix of rounded and angular gestures keeps the alphabet visually varied, reinforcing the handmade character rather than strict uniformity.
