A chunky, brushy display face with uneven contours and visibly rough edges, as if stamped or painted with a dry, loaded brush. Strokes are generally heavy and rounded at terminals, with irregular swelling and occasional notches that create a mottled silhouette. Counters are simple and somewhat tight, and curves (O, C, e) appear slightly lumpy rather than geometric. Spacing feels lively and inconsistent in an intentional way, producing a hand-made rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for short, bold messaging such as posters, album/cover art, apparel graphics, and expressive packaging. It also works for branding elements that want a crafted, imperfect imprint—especially when paired with cleaner supporting text for longer reading.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, mixing DIY energy with a slightly chaotic, street-level feel. Its textured forms suggest wear, noise, and analog imperfection, giving headlines a rebellious, zine-like personality without becoming illegible.
Likely designed to emulate an imperfect ink impression—somewhere between brush lettering and worn stamp type—prioritizing attitude and texture over precision. The consistent roughness and weight suggest a deliberate distressed aesthetic aimed at impactful display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, painted construction, with lowercase remaining sturdy and open enough for short text. Numerals follow the same rugged logic, keeping clear shapes while retaining edge breakup and stroke wobble. The texture reads strongest at larger sizes, where the distressed outline becomes a key part of the character.
