A heavy, brush-driven display face with dense black forms and prominent interior streaking that suggests dry-brush or ink drag. Strokes swell and pinch abruptly, creating a lively, uneven rhythm and frequent wedge-like terminals. Curves are rounded but irregular, with roughened edges and occasional gaps that read as distressed texture rather than clean outlines. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase counters, while capitals are broad and emphatic; overall spacing feels tight and energetic, favoring impact over refinement.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, album or podcast artwork, and expressive packaging. The distressed brush texture holds up well at larger sizes where the interior streaking and rough edges can be appreciated; for longer passages or small UI text it may become visually busy.
The texture and bouncy construction give the font a mischievous, homemade tone—somewhere between playful cartoon lettering and gritty, spooky poster type. Its inky irregularity adds attitude and a slightly chaotic edge, making it feel loud, informal, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, pressure-variable brush lettering with deliberate wear and ink breakup, prioritizing personality and texture. It aims to deliver immediate visual punch and a handcrafted, slightly unruly character for themed display typography.
Letterforms show noticeable glyph-to-glyph variation in stroke behavior and edge texture, which enhances the hand-rendered impression. The numerals echo the same swollen strokes and distressed interior highlights, keeping the set visually consistent in bold headline contexts.
