A condensed, right-leaning brush style with heavy strokes and a dry, textured fill that leaves small white scuffs inside the letterforms. Edges are irregular and slightly jagged, as if made with a worn marker or loaded brush on rough paper. Stroke endings taper and fray rather than finishing cleanly, and counters tend to be compact, giving the alphabet a dense, punchy rhythm. Spacing feels lively and somewhat uneven, reinforcing the hand-rendered character while remaining legible in the sample text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, cover art, apparel graphics, and bold packaging where texture is an asset. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in energetic layouts, but its rough edges and condensed proportions make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude—confident, loud, and a bit rebellious. Its roughened texture reads as analog and human, evoking street posters, zines, and hand-painted signage rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive brush lettering with intentionally imperfect ink coverage, delivering an immediate handmade look without losing recognizability. Its condensed, slanted build prioritizes momentum and punch for display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and impactful, while lowercase keeps a quick handwritten feel with simplified joins and occasional stroke wobble. Numerals match the same dry-brush texture and irregular terminals, maintaining a consistent distressed voice across the set.
