A heavy, forward-slanted display face with chunky strokes and visibly rough, ink-bitten edges. Forms feel brush-drawn or stamped, with uneven contours, occasional interior speckling, and slight wobble that keeps counters open despite the weight. Curves are soft and inflated, terminals are blunted, and spacing is moderately loose to accommodate the irregular silhouettes. Overall rhythm is energetic and imperfect, emphasizing texture over geometric precision.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, album or playlist artwork, craft packaging, game or entertainment titles, and punchy editorial headlines. It performs well at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges and speckled interiors remain intentional rather than muddy.
The texture and slant give it a spirited, streetwise tone—part DIY poster, part worn print. It reads as bold and approachable rather than formal, with a lively, slightly chaotic character that suggests movement and noise.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, handmade look with built-in wear—capturing the feel of brush lettering or a distressed stamp for attention-grabbing, characterful typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged construction, with simplified shapes that prioritize impact. The distressed treatment is consistent across letters and figures, making the font feel cohesive in both short words and longer lines of copy when set large.
