A chunky, marker-like display face with irregular, distressed contours and visibly wobbly stroke edges. Letterforms are largely monoline in feel but show natural variation from pressure and re-tracing, creating small bulges, nicks, and occasional interior scuffs. Counters tend to be rounded and slightly inconsistent, and terminals often look blunt or brush-torn rather than crisply cut. Spacing and widths fluctuate across the alphabet, reinforcing an organic, hand-drawn rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, covers, merchandise graphics, and packaging where the rough texture is a feature. It also works well for playful branding, comic-adjacent titling, and DIY-themed visuals, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed edges remain legible.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a messy, DIY attitude that reads as playful rather than refined. Its rough texture suggests handmade signage, sketchbook lettering, or a photocopied zine aesthetic, giving text a lively, slightly chaotic personality.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn marker lettering and the character of worn printing or repeated strokes. It prioritizes expressive texture and an imperfect, human rhythm over typographic neutrality, aiming for a bold, attention-grabbing display voice.
The distressed detailing is present both on outer contours and within bowls, so dense paragraphs can accumulate visual noise. Round characters (O, Q, 0) show pronounced re-traced outlines, while straight stems retain a jittery, ink-dragged edge that keeps the texture consistent across the set.
