A slanted, brush-driven display face with thick strokes and visibly irregular, dry-ink edges. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a lively baseline bounce and uneven stroke terminals that look blotted or scuffed rather than cleanly cut. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a rugged rhythm with small variations in width and stroke swell that feel hand-rendered.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, merch, album or gig artwork, and punchy packaging callouts. The distressed texture and heavy strokes help it hold presence at display sizes, while extended text may feel visually busy because of the rough edges and lively rhythm.
The overall tone is energetic and gritty, with a handmade immediacy that suggests rough printing or fast sign-painting. Its textured edges and forward lean give it a restless, streetwise character that reads as informal, bold, and a little rebellious.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-made look with deliberate wear and texture, emphasizing attitude over precision. Its condensed, slanted forms and brushy distressing aim to create fast visual energy and a tactile, printed feel.
Caps are strong and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps a quick, note-like flow with simplified shapes and minimal interior refinement. Numerals follow the same inky, distressed texture and maintain the font’s casual, imperfect consistency.
