A rough, brush-driven display face with jagged contours and torn-looking terminals. Strokes show lively pressure shifts and broken edges, with occasional interior gaps and scuffed counters that create a distressed, ink-drag texture. Letterforms are generally upright but irregular in construction, mixing sharp points with rounded bowls and slightly inconsistent stroke joins. The overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, with variable character widths and a hand-rendered baseline feel that stays readable at display sizes.
Best suited to posters, album covers, apparel graphics, and attention-grabbing headlines where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It works especially well for dark themes, alternative branding, and high-impact event or promotional designs, and is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone that feels handmade and aggressive, like marker or dry-brush lettering that’s been scraped or weathered. Its spiky details and rough texture suggest urgency and attitude, lending a darker, alternative energy to headlines.
Likely designed to emulate expressive brush lettering with deliberate wear and abrasion, delivering a punchy display voice that feels handmade and imperfect. The goal appears to be strong personality and texture for thematic titling and graphic-led layouts.
The distressed detailing is present across both uppercase and lowercase, and it becomes more prominent in tight curves and terminals. Numerals follow the same rugged treatment, maintaining the rough, energetic texture for cohesive titling.
