A condensed, high-contrast display face built from brush-like strokes with crisp tapers and rough, irregular edges. Letterforms are generally upright with a lively, hand-drawn rhythm, mixing slender verticals with occasional swelling where strokes overlap or pause. Terminals often end in sharp points or frayed, bristled finishes, creating a textured silhouette even in simpler shapes. Counters stay fairly open, while texture and stroke breakup introduce deliberate unevenness across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the distressed texture and condensed build can be appreciated—posters, title cards, music artwork, and themed promotional graphics. It can also work for logo wordmarks when an intentionally rough, hand-rendered character is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and expressive, suggesting urgency and a handmade attitude rather than polish. Its scratchy, ink-worn texture adds a slightly ominous, underground energy that reads as rebellious and dramatic.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-inked, worn-brush look with strong contrast and a narrow footprint, prioritizing mood and immediacy over neutrality. Its consistent abrasion and pointed finishing strokes aim to deliver a themed, attention-grabbing voice for dramatic display typography.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive distressed impression in both isolated glyphs and continuous text. Narrow proportions and pointed terminals increase visual intensity, while the irregular stroke edges create a subtly jittery baseline and edge sparkle at larger sizes.
