A rough, brush-ink display face with chunky strokes and pronounced ragged edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with mixed stroke pressure that creates strong internal contrast and occasional tapering terminals. The silhouettes feel hand-drawn and slightly jittery, with uneven counters and small breaks or burrs along curves and joins. Spacing and widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a lively, imperfect rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, event flyers, and branding moments that benefit from a rough, tactile voice. It can also work for packaging or labels where a handcrafted, distressed impression is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the edge texture remains legible.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—part street-poster, part scribbled marker—with a slightly mischievous, high-impact presence. Its distressed texture reads as worn or aggressively brushed, lending urgency and attitude rather than polish.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive brush lettering with deliberate wear and ink irregularities, prioritizing character and impact over uniformity. The consistent distressed treatment across the set suggests a controlled, stylized grunge effect aimed at punchy display typography.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest visual weight and make the texture most apparent, while the lowercase retains the same scratchy detailing in more compact shapes. Numerals are similarly rugged and attention-grabbing, with uneven curves and stroke endings that keep the set visually cohesive.
