A rough, hand-rendered print with thick, inked strokes and intentionally irregular contours. Letterforms show ragged edges, occasional holes and blotches, and subtle wobble in verticals and bowls, creating a distressed, dry-brush/marker impression. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with uneven stroke terminals and compact counters that sometimes nearly close up. Overall rhythm is energetic and imperfect, prioritizing texture and personality over geometric consistency.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where texture and attitude are the main goal—posters, music and nightlife graphics, indie packaging, and themed event or horror/seasonal titles. It also works well for punchy labels or callouts where a handmade, distressed tone is desired, while longer text benefits from generous size and spacing.
The font reads as gritty and mischievous, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its distressed texture and uneven pressure suggest something raw and expressive, leaning toward punk, spooky, or street-art tones rather than polished friendliness.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-painted lettering with a deliberately worn, imperfect print, delivering strong character and a tactile ink-on-paper feel. It favors expressive texture and variability to create an edgy, handcrafted voice for display typography.
Uppercase forms are assertive and blocky with a carved/eroded look, while lowercase remains simple and legible but similarly distressed. Numerals follow the same inky, worn texture, making the set feel cohesive for display use. The heavy texture can visually fill in at small sizes, especially in enclosed shapes.
