A heavy, slanted display face with chunky letterforms and a noticeably irregular, scribble-like texture cut through the strokes. The outlines are rough and wavy, with uneven terminals and occasional nicks that create a worn, printed look rather than clean vector edges. Forms are broadly sans in construction, with simplified counters and compact apertures that keep the silhouettes bold and dark on the page. Spacing feels lively and slightly inconsistent, reinforcing the hand-made rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album or mixtape artwork, event flyers, and bold social graphics where the distressed texture can read clearly. It can also work for logos, apparel graphics, packaging accents, and headline treatments that benefit from a gritty, handmade personality.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, leaning toward punk, DIY, and street-poster aesthetics. The dense black color and scratchy interior texture add urgency and attitude, giving headlines a loud, rebellious voice. It reads as intentionally imperfect and tactile, like marker, brush, or rough screenprint ink.
This font appears designed to deliver a forceful italic display voice with a built-in rough, scribbled distress—capturing the feel of fast hand lettering or worn print while maintaining bold, legible silhouettes. The emphasis is on texture, attitude, and movement rather than refined text readability.
The texture is integrated into each glyph rather than applied as a uniform overlay, so the distressing varies from character to character. In longer text the dark color and busy interior pattern reduce clarity, but at larger sizes the distinctive silhouettes and slant create strong motion and impact.
