A condensed, forward-slanted display face with brush-script energy and all-caps forms that read like quickly painted signage. Strokes are heavy and taper subtly, with roughened edges and speckled interior texture that mimics worn ink or dry-brush marks. Letterforms are tall and compressed with tight counters, and the rhythm is lively rather than geometric, with small irregularities that reinforce the hand-rendered feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, inked construction and maintain the distressed texture consistently across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, headline locks, album or show graphics, and bold brand marks that benefit from a rugged, handcrafted voice. It can also work on packaging and labels where a distressed brush look helps convey authenticity or intensity.
The overall tone is punchy and streetwise, combining vintage poster grit with a modern, expressive swagger. It feels assertive and human, suggesting motion and urgency while the worn texture adds a raw, tactile character.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, handwritten display impression with built-in wear and print grit, evoking brush lettering and weathered signage. The narrow, slanted construction prioritizes momentum and impact over neutral readability, aiming for expressive voice in titles and branding.
Texture is prominent enough to become part of the silhouette, especially in heavier joins and vertical strokes, so clarity improves at larger sizes. The strong slant and condensed proportions create a fast, banner-like sweep that works best when given room to lean.
