A heavy, slanted display face with brush-like strokes and intentionally rough contours. Letterforms are built from thick, variable strokes whose edges break into jagged, torn-looking facets, creating a distressed silhouette and uneven texture across each glyph. Counters are generally open and simplified, with occasional bite-like notches and irregular interior shapes that reinforce the hand-rendered feel. Widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than mechanically even.
Best suited to short, bold applications where texture is an asset—posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, album or gig graphics, and streetwear-style branding. It performs well when given room and contrast, and is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI sizes.
The font projects a gritty, high-impact attitude with a handmade, street-level immediacy. Its roughened strokes and aggressive slant suggest motion and urgency, lending a rebellious, poster-ready tone that feels informal and expressive rather than refined.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, forceful brush lettering with worn or scraped edges, combining strong presence with an intentionally imperfect, analog texture. Its variable widths and rough detailing prioritize character and impact over typographic neutrality.
In text settings the distressed edges create a strong dark color and a consistent “ink drag” texture, but the irregular outlines can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same brushy construction, keeping the set cohesive for short bursts of typography.
