A rough, hand-rendered display face with chunky strokes and irregular, broken-looking contours. Letterforms are broad and open, with uneven stroke edges that feel brushy or inked, and frequent angular nicks that create a choppy silhouette. Counters are generally large but uneven, and junctions often look slightly torn or pinched, giving the alphabet a lively, imperfect rhythm. Caps and lowercase share a consistent handmade texture, while numerals follow the same cut-out, distressed construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, splash screens, cover art, event flyers, or packaging where texture and personality are more important than clean readability. It can also work for playful branding accents or titles in games and comics, especially when paired with a simple, neutral text face.
The font conveys a mischievous, offbeat energy—more comic and street-level than polished—suggesting hand-painted signage or a hurried marker/brush job. Its roughness reads as intentionally unrefined, lending a playful edge that can feel slightly spooky or punk depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or brush-painted look with deliberate roughness and irregular rhythm, delivering a distinctive, one-off display voice that feels energetic and unconventional.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the improvised feel. The ragged perimeter is a defining trait at both large and moderate sizes, but the interior chipping and uneven edges become more visually busy as text gets smaller.
