A rough, brush-drawn display face with heavy strokes and visibly irregular edges. Forms show high stroke modulation with occasional split strokes and streak-like counters, suggesting dry-brush or ink drag. Letter structures are mostly upright but loosely constructed, with uneven curves, variable stroke terminals, and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm in running text. Proportions are inconsistent by design, producing a lively, distressed texture; small letters read compact with a relatively low x-height, while capitals feel tall and emphatic. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with simplified shapes and visibly varied stroke finishes.
Best for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, punchy headlines, music or nightlife graphics, and branding that wants a raw, handcrafted edge. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details remain clear.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a handmade, rebellious character that feels improvised rather than refined. The distressed brush texture adds a sense of urgency and attitude, while the quirky construction keeps it approachable and playful instead of ominous.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive brush lettering with deliberate wear and ink artifacts, creating a high-impact display voice that prioritizes texture and personality over smooth consistency.
In longer lines, the uneven stroke edges and internal streaking create a strong, mottled color that becomes the main visual feature. Spacing appears intentionally irregular, enhancing the hand-lettered feel, but also making the font better suited to short bursts of text than dense reading environments.
