A rough brush-lettered print style with a pronounced rightward slant and visibly dry, textured stroke edges. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, with uneven stroke widths and occasional tapering that suggests a fast, pressure-driven tool. Counters tend to be tight and shapes lean angular, with irregular terminals and small burrs that create a distressed silhouette. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-drawn rhythm rather than mechanical consistency.
Best suited to display settings where texture is a feature: posters, cover art, apparel graphics, event promotions, and packaging accents. It also works for short, punchy headlines or callouts where an energetic, hand-painted feel is desired, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone feels urgent and handmade, with a gritty, street-level energy. Its rugged texture and slanted stance read as assertive and expressive, evoking poster lettering, marker/brush signage, and DIY graphics rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with visible drag and ink breakup, prioritizing character and momentum over uniformity. Its condensed, slanted forms and distressed finish aim to deliver strong impact and a handmade authenticity in display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified brush logic, while figures are similarly roughened and slightly irregular, matching the alphabet’s texture. The distressed edges can visually fill in at small sizes, so the style reads strongest when given room to breathe and when printed or displayed at larger scales.
