A slanted, brush-like display face with thick, tapering strokes and aggressively irregular edges. Letterforms are built from quick, angular gestures with frequent hooks and sharp terminals, creating a lively, rough silhouette. Texture is prominent: strokes look dry-brushed and broken in places, with uneven contours that suggest pressure changes and rapid direction shifts. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a volatile, hand-drawn rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Works well for posters, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, and title treatments where texture and attitude are desirable. It’s effective for short bursts of text—headlines, logos, and packaging callouts—especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The font projects a loud, gritty attitude—restless and confrontational, with a punk/garage zine energy. Its rough brush texture and sharp turns give it a sense of urgency and motion, suited to edgy, streetwise or horror-leaning themes rather than polished branding.
Likely designed to emulate fast brush lettering with a worn, ink-drag texture, prioritizing expressive motion and a distressed surface over clean geometry. The goal appears to be immediate visual impact with a gritty, handmade authenticity.
Counters and joins are often tightened or partially filled by the heavy brush texture, which can reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes. Numerals share the same jagged, hand-painted character, keeping a consistent tone across alphanumerics. The overall effect is more about impact and texture than precision or smooth continuity.
