A heavy, brush-like display face with jagged, distressed contours and visibly uneven stroke endings that mimic dry-brush paint or rough inking. Letterforms are mostly simple and rounded in their underlying construction, but the edges break up into nicks, notches, and small blobs that create a textured silhouette. Counters tend to stay open and readable while interior shapes sometimes show scuffed or scraped areas, giving an imperfect printed feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an informal, hand-made rhythm.
Best used at display sizes where the distressed outlines can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, band or festival graphics, and apparel/merch branding. It can also work for short, high-impact labels or pull quotes when a gritty handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and scrappy, balancing bold friendliness with a gritty, DIY attitude. It reads as playful but rough-edged—well suited to designs that want immediacy, noise, and personality rather than refinement.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, brush-textured finish, evoking rough printing and hand-painted lettering. The goal is expressive, attention-grabbing typography that feels crafted and a little rebellious while remaining broadly legible.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with especially strong impact in rounded letters and double-storey forms where the distressed edge work is most visible. The numerals match the alphabet’s chunky proportions and rough terminals, keeping a cohesive, poster-ready color on the page.
