A heavy, slanted display face with chunky, brush-like strokes and pronounced irregular edges. Letterforms are built from compact, rounded masses with frequent tapering terminals and streaky swashes that read like dry-brush drag marks. Counters are small and often pinched, and stroke endings show splatters and nicks that create a lively, imperfect silhouette. Spacing and letter widths feel uneven by design, giving text an animated, hand-rendered rhythm.
Best used at large sizes where the rough brush details and irregular contours can read clearly. It fits posters, event graphics, punchy branding, packaging callouts, and expressive editorial or album-style titling where a clean, neutral voice would feel too restrained.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly—more cartoon-ink than polished typography. Its rough texture and exaggerated shapes suggest spontaneity, noise, and a deliberately offbeat personality suited to attention-grabbing moments.
This design appears intended to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a deliberately messy finish—prioritizing character and impact over precision. The irregularities and ink artifacts are used consistently to create a one-off, attention-seeking display texture.
The font’s texture is a defining feature: many glyphs carry secondary brush traces along the baseline or top edges, adding motion and grit. Numerals match the same blotty, ink-brushed construction, keeping the set cohesive for bold, expressive headlines.
