A heavy, brush-like display face with chunky proportions and intentionally irregular contours. Strokes have rough, chiseled edges and occasional notches, with subtle interior erosion that creates a worn, inked-on-paper feel. Curves are lumpy rather than geometric, terminals end bluntly, and spacing feels slightly uneven, reinforcing a handmade rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged construction, and the numerals follow the same bold, distressed silhouette for consistent texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, merchandise, packaging accents, and expressive branding where texture is an asset. It can also work for pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts when a rough, handmade voice is desired, but it’s less appropriate for dense body copy due to its heavy texture and tight counters.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a casual DIY attitude that feels imperfect in a deliberate way. It reads as loud and tactile, suggesting rough printing, marker or brush lettering, and an expressive, street-level personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with purposeful wear and irregularity, mimicking rough brush lettering and distressed printing. Its consistent rugged texture across letters and digits suggests it’s built to add character and grit to titles and branding rather than to disappear into long-form reading.
Counters tend to be small and irregular, and texture becomes a key part of the letterforms—especially in round characters like O/Q and in wide strokes such as M/W. Because the distressed edges carry visual noise, the face is most effective when given room to breathe rather than set too tightly or too small.
