A heavy, hand-drawn print face with chunky strokes and visibly rough, inked edges. The letterforms are mostly upright with a compact, slightly condensed feel, while widths vary from glyph to glyph in a natural, drawn way. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and terminals look brushed or stamped, producing occasional blobs and nicks that add texture. The overall rhythm is lively rather than precise, with subtly inconsistent curves, shoulders, and joins that reinforce a handmade appearance.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging, and branded graphics that benefit from a bold, handmade voice. It works well for band flyers, event promos, labels, and short punchy copy where texture and personality are more important than typographic polish.
The font reads as gritty and energetic, balancing humor with a slightly rebellious, DIY attitude. Its rough texture and uneven contours give it an informal, zine-like tone that feels expressive and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect marker/brush lettering or stamped ink, prioritizing texture, impact, and a casual human feel. Its irregularities seem purposeful, creating a consistent grunge-print look across the alphabet and numerals.
At display sizes the distressed edges and filled-in areas become a defining feature; in longer lines or small sizes, the dense weight and tight counters may reduce clarity. Numerals match the same rugged, ink-stamped character, helping headlines and short callouts feel cohesive across letters and numbers.
