A heavy, hand-rendered sans with irregular, brush-like strokes and softened corners. Letterforms are broadly constructed and mostly monoline, but the outlines wobble and break subtly, creating uneven edges and occasional ink-bloat or rough notches. Counters tend to be compact and somewhat lumpy, and curves (C, O, G) feel organic rather than geometric. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a made-by-hand rhythm rather than a strictly engineered one.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album or podcast artwork, event flyers, and merch graphics where texture is desirable. It also works for branding accents or packaging that aims for a handmade, worn-in look, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—casual, rebellious, and slightly chaotic, like paint on a rough surface or a quickly printed gig flyer. Its rough texture reads as loud and expressive, with a playful edge that keeps it from feeling overly sinister.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, tactile display voice that mimics rough brush lettering or imperfect print, prioritizing character and texture over pristine regularity. The goal appears to be instant visual attitude—an expressive, distressed tone that feels human and energetic.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with distinctive ink-like terminals and small edge bites that become more pronounced at larger sizes. In running text it stays legible, but the dense weight and distressed outlines create visual noise that reduces clarity at small sizes or in long passages.
