A chunky, hand-drawn print face with condensed proportions and a firmly upright stance. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with subtly uneven edges and occasional notches that create a carved/inked texture. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly ragged, and curves are simplified into sturdy, angular forms. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a lively, irregular rhythm while remaining broadly legible in text.
This font works best for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, packaging, labels, signage, and editorial headlines. It can also be used for punchy pull quotes or brief passages when you want a dense, handmade voice, but the rough edge detail favors larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, like lettering pulled from a rough stamp, screenprint, or brushy marker. Its imperfect edges and compact build add a casual, energetic feel that reads as playful and a bit rebellious rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand-lettering with a deliberately distressed edge, combining compact proportions with sturdy, simple shapes for impactful display typography. Its irregular contours suggest an aim to feel tactile and human, as if printed or painted quickly and then worn in.
Capitals have a strong poster-like presence, while lowercase maintains the same rugged texture for consistent color in paragraphs. Numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the blunt, weathered finish of the letters.
