A slanted, brush-driven display face with compact proportions and lively, uneven stroke endings. Letterforms are built from broad, slightly modulated strokes with rough, torn edges and occasional ink-like gaps, giving a printed-from-worn-type or dry-brush texture. Counters are generally open and simplified, and curves are somewhat angularized, producing a quick, emphatic rhythm. Spacing is relatively tight, with a strong forward motion and consistent overall color despite the intentionally irregular contours.
Well suited to short, punchy settings such as posters, headlines, album art, event promotions, and bold brand moments where texture is a feature. It also fits packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a rugged, screen-printed feel. For longer passages or small sizes, the heavy texture and tight rhythm can reduce clarity, so pairing with a cleaner text face is advisable.
The font conveys a gritty, high-energy attitude that feels handmade and a bit rebellious. Its worn texture and brisk slant suggest vintage poster work, garage-band flyers, or screen-printed apparel, delivering urgency and personality over polish.
The design appears intended to emulate fast brush lettering with a deliberately distressed finish, prioritizing momentum and impact. Its compact, italicized stance and textured edges aim to add a tactile, analog character reminiscent of worn print or dry-brush signage.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive brush script sensibility while keeping clear silhouettes; numerals follow the same distressed, slanted construction for consistent tone in headlines. The texture is prominent enough to become part of the voice, so it reads best when allowed some size and breathing room.
