An italic, brush-lettered display face with heavy strokes and visibly dry-brush texture. Letterforms lean forward with irregular, jagged edges and intermittent interior gaps that mimic bristles and ink drag. Proportions are lively and inconsistent in a deliberate way: counters vary, terminals fray, and stroke endings taper or blunt unpredictably, creating a rough, hand-painted rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and punchy, while lowercase maintains a low x-height feel with simplified, gestural construction and occasional exaggerated swashes in strokes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the rough brush texture and slanted momentum can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, merch graphics, and music or event promotional artwork. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles when a gritty, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is loud, spontaneous, and street-level, combining a hand-painted immediacy with a worn, distressed bite. It reads as confident and informal, with a DIY character that suggests movement and urgency rather than polish.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, bold brush lettering with a deliberately distressed surface, delivering a raw, hand-rendered feel that stands out in display typography.
Texture remains a key visual feature even in the numerals, which share the same scraped, brushy stress and uneven curves. Spacing appears intentionally loose and irregular, reinforcing the handmade look and helping the distressed edges stay legible at headline sizes.
