A compact, heavy display face with hand-drawn, brushy silhouettes and strongly distressed edges. Strokes are thick and uneven, with frequent nicks, gaps, and ragged contours that create a stamped or dry-brush effect. Counters are small and often partially pinched, and terminals appear blunt and torn rather than cleanly finished. The overall rhythm is lively and irregular, with subtle per-glyph variation that reinforces the handmade character while keeping letterforms recognizable.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its distressed texture can read as intentional detail—posters, bold headlines, event promos, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks with an artisanal or gritty tone. It can also work for album/cover graphics and social media titles where a tactile, printed feel is desirable.
The texture and blunt energy give the font a gritty, DIY attitude that feels casual and a little rebellious. Its rough inking suggests street-poster immediacy and adds a playful edge suited to informal, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, brush-painted forms and purposeful wear, evoking imperfect ink on paper. It prioritizes character and texture over refinement, aiming for an expressive display voice that feels hand-made and slightly weathered.
The distressed texture becomes a dominant feature at smaller sizes, and the tight internal spaces can fill in on coarse reproduction. The numerals match the same rugged, ink-worn treatment, supporting cohesive headline use across letters and figures.
