A rough, brush-driven display face with heavily textured edges and visibly uneven stroke boundaries. Letterforms lean slightly and feel pressure-made, with irregular terminals, occasional blunt ends, and subtle stroke flare that suggests a dry brush or marker on toothy paper. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with lively width variation and inconsistent curves that keep the rhythm intentionally imperfect. Counters are small-to-medium and sometimes partially pinched by the rough stroke texture, while capitals carry a sturdy, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, event promos, album or podcast artwork, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It works well for branding that wants a handmade, gritty voice, and for short bursts of text rather than long reading passages.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, evoking DIY printing, punk flyers, and distressed signage. Its rough texture reads as expressive and rebellious rather than polished, bringing urgency and attitude to headlines and short messages.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or quickly brushed lettering, preserving natural inconsistencies and surface noise to create a deliberately raw, expressive look that stands out in bold applications.
The texture is strong enough to become part of the letter identity, so edges can visually fill in at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. Numerals share the same distressed construction and maintain the energetic, irregular rhythm seen in the letters.
