A condensed, hand-rendered display face with thick strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms show brush-like buildup and roughened edges, with interior scuffing and patchy texture that suggests dry ink or worn printing. Stems are mostly straight and upright, while curves are slightly lopsided, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be tight in rounds like O, Q, and 8, and terminals often end bluntly with small flicks or ragged tapering. Overall spacing is compact and variable, reinforcing a lively, handcrafted feel rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and event or gig flyers where texture is an asset. It also works well for album art, streetwear graphics, and branded badges that benefit from a handmade, distressed attitude. For longer text, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve readability.
The font conveys an energetic, streetwise tone—part DIY marker, part distressed poster lettering. Its rough texture and irregularity feel informal and expressive, balancing playful charm with a gritty, rebellious edge.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush lettering while adding built-in wear and texture for a printed, imperfect look. Its condensed proportions and bold presence prioritize impact, with controlled irregularities that keep the texture consistent across an alphabet and figures.
The distressed texture is integrated into the shapes rather than applied as a uniform overlay, so each glyph carries slightly different internal streaks and wear patterns. Numerals and capitals are especially bold and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase remains legible but keeps the same rugged, hand-inked character.
