A slanted, brush-driven letterform with visibly textured edges and frequent ink breakup, creating a rough, dry-brush silhouette. Strokes are generally heavy with abrupt tapers and occasional hooked terminals, producing lively rhythm and uneven color. Counters are compact and sometimes partially occluded by texture, while curves and diagonals show strong hand pressure changes and slight wobble. Overall proportions feel tight and upright in footprint, with irregular widths and spacing that reinforce a hand-rendered, distressed finish.
Best suited to display settings where texture and gesture are assets: posters, headlines, album/cover art, event promotions, and expressive packaging or labels. It can also work for short pull quotes or social graphics where a hand-painted tone is desired, but the distressed stroke texture makes it less ideal for small-size body copy.
The font reads as raw and expressive, with a confident, street-level energy that feels immediate and unpolished in a deliberate way. Its scratchy texture and brisk slant suggest motion and attitude, leaning toward edgy, DIY, and contemporary handmade aesthetics rather than refined typography.
The design appears intended to simulate fast brush lettering with a dry, worn ink effect, prioritizing character and impact over uniformity. It aims to deliver a bold, handcrafted voice that feels spontaneous and tactile, as if painted or scrawled in real time.
Uppercase forms are assertive and compact, while lowercase retains a casual, marker-like construction with simplified joins and quick strokes. The texture is consistent enough to feel like a unified tool/medium, but irregular enough to keep each word visually animated, especially in longer text lines.
