A rough, brush-marker style face with heavy strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are slightly slanted with a hand-drawn rhythm, showing uneven stroke buildup, occasional ink-like gaps, and ragged terminals. Counters are compact and sometimes partially pinched, while curves look blunted and organic rather than geometric. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, made-by-hand texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, social graphics, and apparel/merch where texture is an advantage. It can also work for packaging accents or branding elements that want a handmade, rough-printed feel, while long-form reading would be less ideal due to the busy texture and irregular shapes.
The font conveys a gritty, energetic tone—like quick poster lettering or a stamped/inked mark that’s been worn down. Its uneven texture and assertive weight feel playful yet rugged, leaning toward a DIY, street-level attitude rather than polished refinement.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a deliberately distressed finish. Its irregular stroke edges and variable glyph widths prioritize personality and immediacy, aiming for a tactile, imperfect look associated with DIY print and expressive display typography.
At text sizes the distressed interior texture and softened corners remain visible, giving lines of copy a lively, noisy color. The numeral set matches the same rough, brushy construction, and the overall impression is more expressive than strictly systematic.
