A tall, condensed hand-lettered style with a dry-brush texture and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms alternate between thin hairline connections and heavier, inkier downstrokes, creating strong contrast and a lively, slightly unstable rhythm. Terminals are often tapered or spurred, counters are loosely formed, and curves show natural wobble and drag, as if written quickly with a worn brush or pen. Overall spacing feels airy but uneven, reinforcing the handmade character while keeping the vertical silhouette prominent.
Best suited for short display settings where its dry-brush distressing and contrast can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging accents, event promos, and thematic title treatments. It works especially well for spooky or gritty concepts, and less well for long passages or small UI text where the texture and irregularity may reduce clarity.
The font conveys a raw, handcrafted attitude—part spooky, part punk—suggesting worn signage, zines, and expressive brush lettering. Its roughness and spiky touches add tension and drama, while the narrow proportions keep it sharp and urgent.
The design appears intended to emulate expressive, distressed brush lettering—capturing the look of ink drag, worn bristles, and imperfect hand pressure to add atmosphere and personality to titles.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent textured treatment, but with noticeable variation in stroke buildup from glyph to glyph, which reads as intentional imperfection. Numerals are similarly narrow and lightly distorted, suitable for display use where the texture can remain visible.
