A heavy, compact display face built from chunky strokes and uneven, hand-drawn contours. Letterforms have jittery outlines, occasional inner streaks, and blunted terminals that create a rough ink/marker texture rather than clean vector curves. Counters are generally small and irregular, and curves are slightly lopsided, giving the alphabet a lively, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, handmade feel while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and branded graphics where texture and personality are an asset. It works well for music/event promotion, youth-oriented apparel graphics, and punchy social media titles, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes to preserve the distressed details.
The font projects a gritty, street-level energy—equal parts DIY zine, gig poster, and scribbled marker signage. Its roughness reads as intentional and expressive, adding attitude and spontaneity to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to simulate bold hand-painted or marker lettering that has been roughed up by printing, wear, or repeated strokes. Its goal is to deliver instant impact with a raw, human touch while staying readable in short, high-contrast applications.
The texture appears as internal scuffs and edge chatter, which can visually fill in at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed treatment, keeping the overall voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
