A rough, hand-rendered italic with heavy, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms lean forward with a jittery rhythm, mixing angular cuts and blunt, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show low modulation and a dry, textured outline that suggests uneven inking or worn printing. Proportions are inconsistent by design, with slightly varied widths and loose spacing that reinforces the handmade character.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are desirable: posters, event promos, album/cover art, bold social graphics, and punchy packaging accents. It can work for short phrases or pull quotes, but is less ideal for long-form reading or small UI text where its rough edges and irregular rhythm reduce legibility.
The font reads as raw and expressive, with a gritty, DIY attitude. Its forward slant and scratchy contours give it momentum and a slightly rebellious, street-level tone, while the simplified shapes keep it approachable and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful hand lettering made with a dry brush or marker, capturing imperfect edges and uneven geometry for a lived-in look. It prioritizes impact and character over typographic regularity, aiming to add grit and motion to titles and branding moments.
Counters tend to be tight and sometimes partially closed, and several glyphs use faceted, almost carved shapes (notably round forms like O/Q/0). The numerals match the same rugged construction and maintain strong presence, but small sizes may lose clarity due to the distressed edges and compressed interiors.
