A chunky, slanted sans with brush-like construction and visibly roughened edges throughout. Strokes are heavy and slightly irregular, with rounded corners and occasional tapered terminals that suggest quick, pressure-varied mark-making. Proportions feel compact and lively, with subtle glyph-to-glyph width variation and a baseline rhythm that reads intentionally imperfect rather than geometric. Counters are generally open and simplified, helping the letters stay readable despite the distressed texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, event flyers, cover art, packaging, apparel graphics, and bold pull quotes. It can work for brief subheads or labeling, but the distressed edges favor larger sizes over dense body text.
The overall tone is raw and energetic, like hand-inked lettering reproduced through imperfect printing. It carries a casual, street-poster attitude—approachable and a little rebellious—balancing toughness with a friendly, humorous warmth.
The design appears intended to emulate bold brushed lettering with a deliberately weathered print feel, delivering strong impact without looking polished or corporate. Its slant and rough contouring aim to add motion, authenticity, and a hand-made presence to display typography.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive “worn/inked” finish. Uppercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, while the lowercase adds extra bounce through narrower joins and more variable stroke edges; numerals match the same rough, painted character.
