A heavy, brushy display face with irregular, torn-looking edges and filled-in counters that feel like stamped or dry-brush ink. Strokes are thick and rounded with noticeable wobble, uneven terminals, and occasional nicks that create a gritty texture throughout. Letterforms lean slightly backward, with loose, variable shapes and widths that prioritize impact over precision; bowls and apertures tend to be small, and spacing reads intentionally lumpy for a handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, packaging callouts, event flyers, and merch graphics where texture is an asset. It works well for album/playlist art, skate and streetwear branding, and playful Halloween or comic-adjacent titling, especially when set large with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is loud and unruly, with a DIY, street-level energy that reads more playful than sinister. Its rough texture and chunky silhouettes suggest spontaneity and imperfection, giving headlines a tactile, printed-by-hand feel.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-painted or roughly printed lettering, capturing the randomness of real ink and worn edges while staying legible at display sizes. Its backward slant and uneven stroke behavior reinforce an expressive, informal attitude rather than a polished typographic system.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive despite the intentionally uneven outlines. At smaller sizes, the dense black color and rough edges may visually merge, while larger sizes showcase the distressed detail most clearly.
