A slanted, brush-drawn display face with heavy, inky strokes and visibly roughened contours. Letterforms show uneven pressure, wobbly curves, and occasional interior scuffing that creates a worn, printed texture rather than clean solid shapes. Terminals are mostly rounded and soft, with simplified, open counters and lively, irregular stroke edges. Spacing and widths feel organically inconsistent, giving words a rhythmic, hand-rendered flow.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, merch graphics, packaging callouts, and social media titles where texture is an asset. It can also work for brand marks or event promos that want a hand-painted, rough-print feel, but the distressing may reduce clarity at small sizes or in dense body copy.
The font reads energetic and informal, with a mischievous, DIY attitude. Its distressed ink texture and comic-leaning shapes suggest zines, punk flyers, and hand-lettered signage—friendly but a bit gritty.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately worn print finish, combining a casual, handwritten rhythm with gritty texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “ink dragged on paper” effect. The italic slant and variable letter widths add momentum in longer lines, while the textured edges become a defining feature at larger sizes.
