A rough, brush-driven display face with irregular, ragged contours and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letters show a strong slanted rhythm with lively, hand-written modulation and occasional ink pooling, creating a textured silhouette rather than clean outlines. Proportions are condensed overall, with compact counters and a deliberately inconsistent stroke finish that reads like dry-brush or worn print. Numerals and lowercase share the same energetic, distressed construction, emphasizing spontaneity over strict geometry.
Best suited to short, prominent text where texture and gesture can carry the message—posters, album/cover art, event graphics, and punchy branding moments. It can also work for packaging accents, social graphics, or editorial headings when a handmade, worn-in look is desired.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade attitude—energetic, imperfect, and a little rebellious. Its rough texture and slanted motion suggest urgency and human presence, giving text an informal, street-level voice rather than a polished or corporate tone.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush lettering with distressed edges, prioritizing expressive movement and texture to create an authentic, lived-in display voice.
The distressed edge behavior is consistent across the set, helping the texture feel intentional rather than accidental. At larger sizes the character of the strokes and the broken edges become a key feature; at smaller sizes the roughness may reduce clarity, especially in tighter counters and junctions.
