A condensed, hand-drawn all-caps and lowercase with a brush/marker-like stroke that flares and tapers irregularly. Letterforms are built from quick, angular gestures with sharp terminals, occasional hooks, and visibly rough contours that suggest dry ink and uneven pressure. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, slightly chaotic rhythm, while counters stay fairly open to keep words readable in short bursts. Numerals echo the same jagged, inked construction with uneven curves and pointed joins.
Best suited to display settings where the rough stroke and distressed perimeter can be appreciated—posters, headlines, cover art, and attention-grabbing packaging. It works well for themed titles and branding that want a handmade, rebellious feel, but is less ideal for long body text or small UI labels where the texture may blur.
The overall tone feels raw and energetic, like hastily painted lettering on a poster or flyer. Its distressed texture and spiky silhouettes add a confrontational, underground edge, while the bouncy irregularity keeps it informal and expressive rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, brushy lettering with deliberate wear and irregularities, prioritizing attitude and immediacy over typographic refinement. Its narrow build and energetic stroke give it a compact, high-impact voice for dramatic or gritty thematic work.
The texture is integral to the design: edges appear torn and blotty, with small notches and artifacts that become more apparent at larger sizes. Uppercase forms read as tall and narrow, and the lowercase maintains the same hand-rendered character with compact proportions and punchy ascenders/descenders.
