A heavy, right-leaning sans with compact curves and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The outlines show intentional roughness and uneven terminals, as if inked with a brush marker or printed under imperfect conditions. Counters are generally open and rounded, and the overall rhythm is bouncy and informal, with small irregularities that keep the texture visibly active in both caps and lowercase.
Works well for posters, sports and streetwear branding, album or event graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, tactile look. It’s a strong choice for short display lines, logos, and emphatic pull quotes where texture is part of the personality; for longer text, it will read best at larger sizes where the distressed detail remains clear.
This face feels energetic and punchy, with a casual, hand-made confidence. The roughened edges and slanted stance give it a lively, slightly rebellious tone that reads as sporty and streetwise rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver strong headline impact while preserving an organic, imperfect texture. Its italic slant and rough contouring suggest motion and attitude, aiming for a hand-crafted feel that avoids the neutrality of a clean grotesk.
The sample text shows consistent texture across letters and numerals, with slightly varied edge chipping and tapering that mimics natural stroke drag. The numerals are similarly heavy and compact, matching the letters for cohesive display use.
