A condensed, heavy display face with brush-ink construction and visibly distressed contours. Strokes are chunky and tapered with rough, torn-looking edges, occasional ink blotting, and uneven terminals that create a stamped/painted impression. Counters are relatively small and irregular, with simplified interior shapes that emphasize mass over precision. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly bouncy, with small variations in stroke width and texture from glyph to glyph.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album/track artwork, and expressive packaging. The distressed brush texture also works well for branding moments that want a handcrafted, rugged feel—especially when set large with generous spacing.
The texture and compressed proportions give the font a gritty, street-level attitude—bold, handmade, and a little unruly. It reads as expressive and informal, evoking DIY signage, gig posters, and rough printmaking rather than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, condensed display voice with a convincingly worn, brush-printed surface. The intent appears to prioritize character and texture—suggesting ink on paper, dry brush, or imperfect screen printing—while maintaining recognizable, readable letterforms for attention-grabbing titles.
Uppercase forms tend toward compact, blocky silhouettes, while lowercase adds more idiosyncratic brush behavior (notably in letters like a, g, r, and t). Numerals match the same distressed, inked texture, keeping a consistent tone across the set. The roughness is prominent enough that very small sizes or long passages may lose clarity.
