A rugged, brush-like print face with thick, irregular strokes and visibly torn-looking edges. Letterforms are slightly right-leaning and loosely constructed, with uneven terminals, occasional spikes, and fluctuating stroke width that mimics wet ink or a dry brush. Counters are often tight and asymmetrical, curves are lumpy rather than geometric, and spacing feels lively with small variations in character width and rhythm. Numerals follow the same distressed, hand-formed logic, maintaining a cohesive, gritty texture across the set.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, headlines, packaging accents, album or playlist artwork, and event or nightlife promotion. It also works well for badges, stickers, and short callouts where a gritty, hand-painted feel helps the message stand out.
The font projects a raw, handmade attitude—expressive, a little chaotic, and intentionally imperfect. Its rough texture and punchy silhouettes evoke DIY posters, underground flyers, and energetic brush lettering with a slightly mischievous edge.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering, prioritizing texture, movement, and attitude over refinement. The goal appears to be a bold, expressive print style that feels human and spontaneous, with consistent roughness across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At larger sizes the distressed contours and brush artifacts become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and jagged edges can reduce clarity. The overall color on the page is dense and high-impact, creating a strong typographic presence even in short phrases.
