A wide, hand-drawn display face with brushlike strokes and blunt, rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from simplified, open counters and frequent cut-ins that create a hollowed, stencil-like feel, with occasional offset inner shapes that read as a loose shadow or echo. Strokes show natural variation and slightly wobbly curves, giving an informal rhythm; joins are soft and often teardrop-shaped, and many forms rely on partial bowls rather than fully closed outlines. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the drawn, improvisational construction while maintaining a consistent overall weight and cap height.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging accents, event flyers, and music or streetwear branding where a handmade, punchy texture is desirable. It can work in longer lines for stylized quotes or captions when set at larger sizes and with comfortable spacing to preserve the open interior details.
The font conveys an expressive, streetwise energy—casual, mischievous, and a bit rebellious. Its open, carved-in look and irregular brush rhythm suggest handmade signage or marker graffiti, with a retro-comic edge that keeps it light rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush lettering while adding carved-out interior breaks that introduce depth and a subtle shadowed echo. The goal seems to be high-impact display lettering with a distinctive, cut-in silhouette that feels energetic and informal.
In text, the repeated inner cut-outs and partial bowls create a lively texture but also introduce lookalike moments (especially among rounded letters), so it reads best when size and tracking give the interior gaps room to breathe. Numerals and diagonals carry the same sliced, gestural logic, helping headings feel cohesive.
