A slanted, heavy display face with broad, brush-like strokes and a noticeably rough, speckled texture throughout the letterforms. Edges are irregular and slightly chipped, with uneven stroke terminals that mimic worn printing or dry ink. Counters stay fairly open for a distressed style, while the overall rhythm is energetic and slightly bouncy, with small variations in stroke width and shape that reinforce the handmade feel. Numerals match the letterforms’ rough finish and forward-leaning posture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging labels, and promotional materials where texture is an asset. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the rough surface and lively rhythm make it less ideal for long-form text or small-size UI copy.
The texture and forward slant give the font a gritty, energetic tone that feels handmade and a bit rebellious. It reads as playful but tough—like a stamped or screen-printed headline that’s been through wear—making it feel informal, spirited, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display readability while preserving the imperfections of analog mark-making—suggesting dry-brush lettering, worn stamping, or rough print processes. Its consistent distressing and emphatic stroke weight aim to add attitude and tactile character to titles and branded phrases.
The distressed pattern is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “inked” surface rather than random damage. Round letters (like O/C) show textured interiors and slightly wobbly outlines, while straight-sided letters keep a chiseled, brush-cut look that helps maintain impact at larger sizes.
