A rough, brush-driven Latin with irregular, torn-looking contours and visibly uneven stroke edges. Forms are generally upright with a lively baseline that wobbles slightly, and the stroke weight fluctuates as if made with a dry marker or worn brush. Counters tend to be open and somewhat misshapen, terminals often end in tapered or frayed points, and joins show occasional thickened blobs where strokes overlap. Overall spacing feels organic rather than mechanically even, reinforcing a hand-rendered texture across letters and numerals.
Well suited for display settings where texture and attitude are desirable: posters, gig and event flyers, album/mixtape artwork, streetwear graphics, and bold social media headlines. It can also work for short packaging callouts or labels when a handcrafted, gritty look is needed, but is best reserved for larger sizes where its distressed edges remain clear.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade attitude—more punk zine than polished brand system. Its distressed outlines and inky texture suggest spontaneity, noise, and analog imperfection, giving text an energetic, rebellious tone.
Likely designed to emulate fast brush lettering and imperfect print artifacts, delivering an intentionally rough, expressive voice for theme-driven display typography. The consistent distress and variable stroke behavior appear aimed at adding instant character and a tactile, analog feel to otherwise simple letter structures.
Uppercase characters read bold and poster-like, while lowercase and numerals keep the same distressed texture with slightly looser, more casual rhythms. The numerals are highly stylized and irregular, contributing to the rough, improvised feel; at small sizes the texture and uneven apertures may become the dominant feature over fine detail.
