A narrow, hand-drawn display face with a brush-pen feel and visibly irregular, textured stroke edges. Letterforms are built from quick, slightly angular strokes with tapered terminals and occasional ink-like buildup, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are generally open and simple, and proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, handmade construction. The overall silhouette reads clean at headline sizes while preserving a deliberately rough, distressed surface.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short callouts where the textured brush character can be appreciated. It works well for music and entertainment graphics, event flyers, packaging accents, and editorial feature titles that benefit from a handmade, gritty voice. For longer passages or small sizes, the rough edges and variable rhythm may feel busy, so pairing with a simpler text face is recommended.
The font conveys a DIY, street-poster energy—casual and expressive with a slightly gritty, rebellious edge. Its brushy texture and imperfect contours add warmth and immediacy, suggesting hand-lettered signage or rough-printed graphics rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-rendered look with authentic-looking wear and brush texture, balancing readability with expressive irregularity. It aims to mimic fast marker/brush lettering and rough print artifacts for thematic, attention-grabbing display use.
In sample text, the texture remains prominent and consistent across lines, with small variations in stroke width and terminal shape that emphasize movement. The narrow set and high-contrast strokes create strong vertical emphasis, while the distressed edges prevent it from feeling formal or mechanical.
