A heavy, brush-mark display face with irregular outlines and a visibly inked texture. Strokes show pressure-like modulation, with thick bodies and occasional pinched joins, giving the letterforms a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are compact and sometimes partially occluded by rough edges, while terminals tend to be blunt, frayed, or slightly tapered as if from a dry brush. Overall spacing and proportions feel hand-drawn rather than strictly geometric, with subtle width fluctuations across characters.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as posters, headlines, cover art, event promotions, and packaging where the gritty brush texture can read clearly. It performs especially well when paired with clean supporting type, or used as a standalone voice for bold labels and punchy callouts.
The font projects a raw, energetic tone—part street-poster, part DIY zine—with a confident, loud presence. Its distressed brush texture adds urgency and attitude, suggesting motion and spontaneity rather than refinement. The overall feel is expressive and informal, leaning toward rebellious and gritty while staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to capture the look of quick, assertive brush lettering with a deliberately worn, ink-loaded finish. It prioritizes character and impact over precision, delivering an expressive display style that evokes handmade printing and rough-edged signage.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with speckling and rough contours that read like stamped ink or worn screen print. The sample text shows strong word-shape recognition, but the dense stroke mass and rough edges may reduce clarity at small sizes or in long passages.
