A heavy, ink-saturated display face with irregular, brushy outlines and visibly uneven stroke edges. Forms are built from chunky, rounded masses with occasional pinched joins and softened corners, creating a hand-printed look rather than clean geometry. Counters tend to be compact and slightly asymmetrical, and terminals often finish bluntly with rough, torn-looking contours. Overall spacing and letter widths vary, contributing to an energetic, non-uniform rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography where texture is part of the message—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, skate/music artwork, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for event promos or social graphics where a rough, handmade aesthetic is desired.
The texture and wobble give it a gritty, DIY tone—confident and loud, but also casual and approachable. It evokes worn stamping, rough screenprint, or marker/brush lettering, lending a rebellious, streetwise character with a hint of humor.
The design appears intended to provide a strong, attention-grabbing display voice with intentionally imperfect edges and a tactile, printed feel. Its irregularity prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, aiming for immediacy and attitude in large-scale text.
At smaller sizes the interior openings can start to close up, while at larger sizes the edge texture becomes a key feature. The numerals match the same chunky, distressed construction, keeping a consistent voice across letters and figures.
