A rough, brush-lettered italic with heavy, dry-ink strokes and irregular, torn-looking edges. Letterforms show noticeable stroke wobble and intermittent texture, as if made with a worn marker or loaded brush on absorbent paper. Counters are uneven and sometimes partially closed by ink buildup, while terminals often end in blunt, frayed points. Overall spacing feels lively and slightly inconsistent, reinforcing an organic, hand-drawn rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are an asset—posters, music and nightlife graphics, bold social posts, packaging callouts, and short headlines. It can also work as a secondary accent face paired with a clean sans or serif, but the rough edges and dense strokes make it less ideal for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font conveys a gritty, streetwise attitude with an expressive, improvised feel. Its rough texture and slanted motion read as urgent and energetic, with a DIY, punk-adjacent tone that feels more handmade than polished.
Likely designed to emulate fast, emphatic brush signage and rough printed ephemera, prioritizing personality and motion over typographic regularity. The consistent distressed texture and slanted stance suggest an intention to deliver instant impact and a tactile, analog look in digital layouts.
Uppercase shapes are compact and punchy, while lowercase forms keep a casual handwritten structure with simplified details and occasional asymmetry. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with softened corners and uneven thickness that maintains the distressed texture across the set.
