A condensed, forward-slanted brush script with sharp, tapering terminals and visibly ragged stroke edges. Letterforms are built from quick, calligraphic strokes that alternate between broad swells and thin hairline exits, creating a lively rhythm and medium-to-high texture across words. Counters are tight and often partially open, with occasional ink-like breaks and rough joins that make the silhouette feel cut and torn rather than smooth. Spacing appears irregular in a natural way, and the overall color on the line is dark and restless, favoring dramatic diagonals and pointed forms.
Best suited for display settings where energy and texture are desirable: posters, music and nightlife graphics, sports or action-oriented promos, packaging accents, and bold branding lockups. It performs especially well in short phrases, large sizes, and high-contrast layouts where its jagged brush texture can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The tone is intense and streetwise, with a hand-made urgency that reads as bold, rebellious, and a little dangerous. It evokes marker lettering, punk/metal gig flyers, action-movie titling, and expressive graffiti-adjacent brushwork. The distressed texture adds grit and attitude, trading polish for impact.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick brush lettering with a deliberately rough, worn edge, prioritizing motion and attitude over refinement. Its condensed, slanted forms concentrate visual force, making it a strong choice for punchy, expressive typography that needs to feel hand-made and unfiltered.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same fast, slanted construction and maintain a consistent brush personality, while numerals follow the same sharp, gestural logic. The font’s narrow build and textured edges increase visual drama but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long paragraphs, where the roughness and tight counters may visually fill in.
