A slanted, brush-script style with heavy strokes and visibly ragged, dry-brush edges that create a textured silhouette. Letterforms are loosely connected in spirit but remain individually drawn, with variable stroke width from pressure-like modulation and occasional tapering terminals. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and active ascenders/descenders, while counters are partially irregular from the rough fill. Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally uneven, reinforcing a hand-rendered, high-impact texture across both letters and numerals.
Works best for short, prominent text such as posters, album/playlist art, apparel graphics, event promotions, and punchy social headers where texture is an asset. It can also serve as a secondary display face paired with a clean sans or serif for contrast in branding and packaging.
The overall tone is gritty and high-energy, conveying a handmade, streetwise character. Its rough brush texture reads as urgent and expressive, with a rebellious edge suited to loud, attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet refinement.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast, pressure-driven brush lettering with deliberate surface wear, prioritizing impact and attitude over typographic neutrality. The goal appears to be a bold, tactile display voice that feels hand-made and imperfect in a controlled way.
The distressed texture is consistent across the set, including numerals and punctuation, producing a print-worn or ink-drag effect. The italic slant and aggressive stroke ends amplify motion, but the irregular edges can soften fine details at small sizes.
