A rough, brush-mark display face with compact proportions and chunky strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with a hand-drawn rhythm, showing pronounced irregularity in stroke width, softened corners, and ragged outer contours. Counters tend to be small and occasionally partially clogged, with visible speckling and worn-looking gaps that suggest dry brush or degraded printing. Overall spacing is fairly tight and the set reads as an energetic, distressed all-caps and lowercase companion with similarly rugged numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and cover art where the distressed texture can read clearly. It can also add character to packaging, labels, or social graphics when used sparingly and at larger sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude—loud, imperfect, and energetic. Its scuffed texture and uneven edges add a rebellious, street-poster feel while maintaining a playful, comic roughness that keeps it approachable rather than menacing.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering that has been weathered, stamped, or printed on rough surfaces. Its primary goal is to deliver instant texture and attitude for attention-grabbing display typography.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture at display sizes. The roughness becomes a defining feature in curves and terminals, giving words a mottled silhouette that benefits from generous size and contrast against clean backgrounds.
