A heavy, hand-rendered display face with thick stems and noticeably rough, chiseled edges. Counters and interior shapes feel partially eroded, creating a blotchy, ink-worn texture throughout. The letterforms are mostly upright with simple, blocky construction and rounded corners, while stroke endings vary between blunt and ragged, as if made with a dry brush or worn marker. Spacing and widths are slightly uneven, reinforcing an informal, handmade rhythm that remains legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and cover art where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can also work for bold packaging callouts or merch graphics, especially when you want an intentionally rough, handmade look.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a cheeky, mischievous feel. Its distressed texture suggests DIY print, zine culture, or rough poster lettering, giving text a loud, tactile presence rather than a polished finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice with deliberate wear and irregularity, mimicking imperfect inking or distressed printing. It prioritizes personality and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for expressive display use.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so long passages read as a unified dark mass with lively surface noise. Curves (like O, C, and G) keep a chunky silhouette while still showing irregular inner contours, which adds character but calls for generous size and contrast in use.
