A heavy, hand-rendered display face with irregular, brushy contours and a visibly uneven rhythm. Strokes are chunky and somewhat blobby, with frequent bulges, nicks, and tapered ends that suggest wet ink or a rough marker. Counters are often reduced or partially collapsed, giving many letters a solid, cut-out silhouette and making internal apertures read as small notches rather than open spaces. Letterforms lean toward simplified, rounded geometry with inconsistent stroke edges and slightly varied proportions from glyph to glyph, emphasizing an organic, made-by-hand texture over precision.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event flyers, and cover or album art where its rough texture can be appreciated. It works well when you want an emphatic, handmade look and can give simple phrases or titles a gritty, playful punch. For longer passages or small UI text, the dense shapes and limited interior openings are likely to reduce readability.
The overall tone is loud, mischievous, and street-level—more zine and cartoon than corporate. Its rough edges and dense shapes create an intentionally imperfect, rebellious energy that feels informal and attention-seeking. The collapsed interiors add a slightly eerie, poster-paint feel that can read as spooky-fun rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a hand-inked, irregular silhouette and intentionally reduced interiors. Rather than aiming for typographic uniformity, it prioritizes expressive texture and a cut-out solidity that reads quickly in display settings.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with many characters relying on silhouette clarity instead of interior detail. At smaller sizes, reduced counters and heavy joins may merge, while at larger sizes the edge texture becomes a key part of the personality.
