A heavy, hand-rendered display face with a dry-brush texture and irregular, torn-looking edges. Strokes show visible tapering and occasional ink breaks, with small interior voids and blot-like artifacts that create a worn print feel. Letterforms are mostly simplified and chunky, with uneven curves and slightly inconsistent joins that reinforce the handmade rhythm. Spacing and sidebearings vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines a lively, imperfect cadence.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, album or podcast artwork, and branding that benefits from a gritty handmade aesthetic. It also works well for short bursts of copy on packaging or merch where texture and attitude are desired, but it’s less ideal for small, long-form reading due to the intentional roughness.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—part street-poster, part marker lettering—while staying friendly and readable. Its rough texture adds attitude and immediacy, suggesting something improvised, loud, and informal rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to emulate bold brush lettering and distressed printing, capturing the look of ink dragged across paper with imperfect coverage and rough edges. The goal appears to be a high-impact display style that feels spontaneous and tactile while remaining broadly legible.
The distressed texture is baked into the forms rather than applied as an overlay, so the character shapes themselves carry the roughness at any size. The numerals and caps feel especially punchy, while the lowercase maintains the same brushy abrasion for consistent tone across mixed-case settings.
