A condensed, forward-leaning brush style with sharp terminals and visibly dry, broken edges. Strokes alternate between chunky, ink-heavy masses and thin, tapering cuts, creating a jittery rhythm and pronounced texture. Letterforms are simplified and angular, with many shapes built from slashed diagonals and narrow counters; curves often appear faceted and partially eroded. Spacing feels irregular and energetic, and the overall silhouette reads like quick, forceful marker or brush lettering scanned from paper.
Best suited for punchy display settings such as posters, music and nightlife graphics, apparel branding, game or film titles, and attention-grabbing social graphics. The texture and narrow stance help it cut through busy compositions, but it will be most effective in short bursts rather than long reading.
The font projects intensity and attitude, with a gritty, handmade edge that feels loud and confrontational. Its rough texture and slashed shapes give it a street-poster, punk, and horror-adjacent tone—more visceral than refined.
Designed to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering with intentional wear and ink breakup, prioritizing impact and character over smooth uniformity. The narrow, slashed construction and rough edges appear aimed at delivering a gritty, high-energy voice for thematic display typography.
The distressed texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with repeated “dry brush” gaps and frayed edges that become more prominent at larger sizes. Uppercase forms tend to be more solid and blocky, while lowercase and numerals show more open, wiry strokes and sharp hooks, reinforcing the hand-rendered feel.
