A heavy, slanted sans with rounded cores and strongly textured outlines. Strokes are thick and compact with visibly irregular, brush-like edges that create a distressed inked texture rather than clean geometry. Counters are generally small and apertures tend to close up, giving letters a dense, impactful silhouette. The rhythm is lively and uneven, with slightly inconsistent widths and stroke terminals that look torn or dry-brushed, reinforcing a hand-made feel while keeping letterforms broadly upright and readable.
Best suited for display applications where strong impact and texture are assets: posters, event graphics, album/playlist covers, streetwear or food packaging, and energetic branding moments. It can also work for short callouts or section headers, while long passages are better kept brief due to the dense weight and distressed detailing.
The font conveys a raw, gritty confidence—more like hand-painted signage or a stamped mark than a polished corporate voice. Its rough texture and forward slant add urgency and motion, making the tone feel rebellious, playful, and loud without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic bold brush lettering or rough inking, combining simple sans structures with deliberate edge wear to create immediacy and attitude. The slanted stance and compact counters support a sense of speed and emphasis, aimed at attention-grabbing, expressive typography.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture reads as an intentional stylistic layer. At smaller sizes the dense weight and tight counters can make internal spaces and punctuation feel crowded, while larger sizes emphasize the tactile brush grain and rugged perimeter.
