A heavy, brush-driven italic with aggressively textured contours and uneven stroke terminals. Letterforms show high-pressure strokes with occasional dry-brush breaks, producing rough edges, small interior nicks, and ink-like pooling in curves. The rhythm is lively and irregular, with variable character widths and a forward slant that reads as fast, gestural writing. Counters are generally compact and sometimes partially closed by texture, while joins and ends often taper into sharp, torn-looking points.
Best suited to short, impactful text such as posters, album or game titles, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics where the brush texture can be appreciated. It performs well as a display face for branding accents and punchy headlines, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI labels due to its rugged surface and compact counters.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone—like hand-painted signage, skate or punk graphics, and DIY poster lettering. Its rough finish and urgent slant give it a loud, kinetic presence that feels unpolished in an intentional, expressive way.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with a deliberately worn print texture. It prioritizes attitude and immediacy over refinement, offering an expressive display voice that feels hand-made and physically applied.
At smaller sizes the distressed texture can begin to merge in tight counters and dense word shapes, while larger settings emphasize the brush grain and irregular silhouette. Numerals follow the same painted logic, with chunky bodies and torn terminals that match the alphabet’s energetic cadence.
