A heavy, hand-rendered display face with dense, solid silhouettes and irregular, brush-like contours. Strokes appear as painted masses with torn edges and intermittent tapering, producing a jittery rhythm and uneven baseline/shoulder behavior. Counters are frequently pinched down or fully collapsed, emphasizing bold shape over internal detail. Letter widths vary noticeably, with compact forms alongside wider, more swollen shapes, reinforcing a spontaneous, drawn look.
Best suited to short, impactful copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/mixtape art, and event flyers where texture is an asset. It also works well for branding accents in streetwear or craft-oriented identities, especially when paired with a simpler supporting text face.
The overall tone is energetic and unruly, reading as streetwise, messy, and deliberately imperfect. It suggests DIY craft, zine culture, and expressive poster lettering rather than refinement or neutrality. The texture adds urgency and attitude, making text feel loud and physical.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering with maximum visual mass, prioritizing texture and attitude over clean readability. Its irregular construction and filled-in interiors aim to create an assertive, graphic stamp-like presence that holds up as bold shapes in composition.
At text sizes the collapsed counters and rough perimeter create a near-silhouette effect, so clarity depends heavily on generous sizing and spacing. The numerals match the same painted, uneven construction and maintain the font’s bold, tactile presence.
