An aggressive brush-script with a pronounced forward slant and compact, tightly spaced letterforms. Strokes are thick and taper unevenly, with visible dry-brush texture, ragged edges, and occasional streaking that creates a broken, distressed silhouette. Counters are small and often partially closed by overlapping strokes, while terminals end in sharp, flicked points or blunt chops. Overall rhythm is lively and irregular, prioritizing gesture and momentum over smooth continuity.
Best suited to short, high-impact display settings such as posters, music and nightlife graphics, streetwear branding, and punchy headline treatments. It can add attitude to packaging or social media graphics where texture and motion are desired, but the heavy distressing and tight forms make it less suitable for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font conveys a gritty, streetwise attitude—like hurried marker lettering or a paint-brush tag captured mid-motion. Its rough texture and sharp accents read as bold and confrontational, with a handmade immediacy that feels energetic and unpolished in an intentional way.
Designed to emulate fast, forceful brush lettering with deliberate wear and breakup, emphasizing motion, grit, and personality. The goal appears to be a dramatic, textural voice that functions as both typography and graphic mark.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar handwritten logic, with many glyphs built from a few decisive strokes and minimal internal refinement. Numerals follow the same scratch-brush treatment, with compact bowls and heavy diagonals that keep the set visually cohesive. The overall texture is strong enough to become a defining graphic element at display sizes.
