A rough, hand-drawn display face with chunky, angular strokes and visibly uneven contours. Letterforms lean forward and fluctuate in width, with wedge-like terminals, kinked curves, and sharp interior corners that create a chiseled, cut-paper rhythm. Counters are small and inconsistent, and the stroke edges feel brushy and faceted rather than smooth, giving the alphabet an energetic, improvised texture. Numerals follow the same jagged construction, favoring skewed diagonals and pointed joins over geometric regularity.
Best suited to posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and other short-form display settings where an eccentric, high-energy voice is desirable. It can work well for entertainment branding, album covers, indie events, and playful game or streaming graphics, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a wacky, scribbled confidence that reads as intentionally unruly rather than distressed. Its forward slant and punchy silhouettes suggest motion and attitude, evoking DIY posters, cartoon exclamations, and playful menace in equal measure.
The design appears aimed at delivering a one-off, expressive voice through irregular, angular brush-like construction and a deliberately inconsistent rhythm. It prioritizes personality and motion over typographic neutrality, making it ideal for attention-grabbing, characterful titles.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally uneven, creating a bouncy line rhythm in running text. Several glyphs use exaggerated angles and asymmetry (notably in diagonals and bowls), which increases personality but makes long passages feel busy; it performs best when given room and set at larger sizes.
