A condensed, brush-like display face with heavy, inky strokes and pronounced irregularity. Letterforms are built from tapering verticals and slanted movement, with textured edges, occasional interior voids, and uneven terminals that suggest dry-brush or worn printing. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are often tight and shapes are slightly lopsided, reinforcing the hand-rendered character. Numerals and capitals carry the same rugged texture and compact fit, reading best at larger sizes where the distressed detail can resolve.
Well-suited for posters, event flyers, album/cover art, game titles, and packaging where a rough, hand-inked impact is desired. It works best for short headlines, punchy callouts, and branding moments that benefit from a distressed, energetic voice.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a DIY, street-poster attitude. Its rough texture and fast, ink-drag motion feel bold and urgent, leaning toward rebellious, horror-adjacent, or punk-flavored styling rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, forceful brush lettering with deliberate wear and imperfect ink coverage. Its condensed silhouette and aggressive texture aim to deliver high-impact display typography with a gritty, handmade edge.
The texture is not uniform—some glyphs appear more filled-in while others show streaking and gaps—so color can fluctuate across a line. Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the strong slant plus dense strokes can cause forms to visually merge at smaller sizes.
