A slanted display face built from energetic, brush-like strokes with sharp terminals and frequent internal cut-outs. The letterforms show a pronounced offset layer that reads like a shadow/echo, creating a hollowed, two-tone silhouette within each stroke. Curves and bowls are irregular and textured, with streaked counters and occasional striping that suggests fast marker or dry-brush lettering. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set a loose rhythm while keeping a consistent right-leaning posture.
Best suited to display roles where texture and attitude are desirable: posters, punchy headlines, album/cover art, game or streaming title cards, and edgy branding. It also works well for short phrases and logos where the offset shadow and carved-in highlights can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is raw and dramatic, with a slightly menacing, underground feel. Its scratchy texture and shadowed construction evoke pulp-horror titling, distressed editorial graphics, and high-energy poster work rather than refined body typography.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive hand lettering while adding a built-in shadowed layer and hollowed texture for instant depth and grit. It prioritizes visual impact and motion over uniformity, aiming for a bold, stylized presence in attention-grabbing applications.
The distressed detailing is baked into the shapes, so at small sizes the interior cut-outs and offset layers may visually fill in, while at larger sizes the shadowed texture becomes a key feature. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest graphic impact, with angular joins and aggressive diagonals reinforcing a fast, hand-rendered look.
