A rough brush-style display face with visibly textured strokes and torn, irregular edges. Letterforms lean forward with a calligraphic slant, combining broad, weighty main strokes with sharp tapering terminals and occasional dry-brush gaps. Curves are slightly flattened and angularized, counters are uneven, and spacing feels lively rather than mechanically consistent, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered rhythm. Numerals share the same inked, scratchy texture and varied stroke endings, keeping the set visually cohesive.
Well suited for display applications such as posters, flyers, event branding, album/EP covers, game or film titles, and themed packaging where a rough, high-impact voice is needed. It also works for short pull quotes or headlines in editorial layouts that want a gritty, expressive accent rather than sustained body text.
The font projects a gritty, aggressive energy with a handmade immediacy. Its rough ink texture and jagged terminals evoke DIY graphics, distressed print, and rebellious poster culture, reading as assertive and dramatic rather than refined or quiet.
Likely designed to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering captured with imperfect ink coverage, emphasizing texture and motion over uniform precision. The goal appears to be an instantly recognizable, dramatic look that signals intensity and attitude.
In longer text, the heavy texture creates a strong tonal band and reduces clarity at small sizes; it performs best when given room to breathe. The pronounced brush artifacts and irregular joins are a defining feature, so clean backgrounds and moderate tracking help preserve legibility.
