A slanted, brush-driven display face with chunky strokes and sharply sheared terminals. Letterforms feel cut and reassembled: counters are irregular, curves are faceted, and many strokes show abrupt direction changes that mimic quick marker or dry-brush pressure. Widths and joins vary noticeably across glyphs, creating a lively, uneven rhythm; diagonals dominate and horizontals often taper or cant upward. Numerals and capitals share the same jagged, hand-rendered construction, with occasional exaggerated bowls and notches that read as intentional imperfections.
Best suited to display applications where expressiveness matters more than typographic neutrality: posters, gig and event flyers, album/mixtape artwork, punchy headlines, and sticker or merch graphics. It can also work for short, energetic pull quotes or packaging accents when used sparingly and at larger sizes.
The overall tone is playful and unruly, with a DIY energy that suggests spontaneity and a slightly anarchic sense of humor. Its rough edges and forward-leaning motion give it a streetwise, kinetic feel, leaning more toward cheeky attitude than elegance.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, hand-painted lettering with deliberately irregular construction, prioritizing personality, motion, and a raw texture over smooth consistency. It aims to deliver instant visual attitude and a memorable, one-off voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the strong texture builds quickly, so spacing and line breaks matter—short bursts and generous leading help maintain clarity. The most distinctive character comes from the inconsistent stroke edges and the angular “carved” shapes inside bowls, which produce a high-impact silhouette at display sizes.
