A distressed, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and ragged, ink-worn edges. Letterforms are compact and tall with a lively, uneven rhythm, showing visible stroke wobble, tapered terminals, and occasional blotting where strokes thicken. Counters are small and irregular, and the overall texture reads as rough printing or dry-brush lettering rather than clean outlines. Numerals and capitals carry the same scratchy, weathered finish, with slightly inconsistent widths that enhance the handmade look.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, album or event graphics, title cards, merch, and packaging where a rough, handmade texture is an asset. It can add instant character to short headlines, badges, and pull quotes, particularly in themes that benefit from worn print, gritty street aesthetics, or eerie storytelling.
The font conveys a gritty, lo-fi attitude—somewhere between DIY gig-poster lettering and aged, stamped ephemera. Its rough texture adds tension and edge, lending itself to darker, scrappier, or rebellious tones while still feeling playful and human.
The design appears intended to emulate distressed brush lettering or degraded ink impressions, prioritizing texture and attitude over pristine uniformity. It aims to feel immediate and physical—like something painted, stamped, or printed on rough stock—creating a bold thematic voice for expressive display typography.
In running text, the distressed outlines create a strong surface texture that becomes more prominent as size decreases, so the face reads best when given room to breathe. The uneven stroke edges and compact proportions make it especially effective as a visual accent rather than a primary reading font.
