A rough, brush-drawn print face with heavy strokes and visibly textured edges. Letterforms show irregular pressure, occasional ink drag, and slightly uneven terminals that create a lively, handmade rhythm. Proportions are compact with a modest x-height and generally upright stance, while widths and counters vary enough to feel natural rather than mechanical. Curves are slightly lumpy and corners tend to be blunted or frayed, reinforcing an ink-on-paper look across both letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset—posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, and promotional graphics. It can add character to short phrases and title treatments, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer copy.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, with a spirited, street-poster energy. Its dry-brush texture and uneven stroke behavior give it a rebellious, handmade character that reads as casual and expressive rather than refined.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with a dry, textured mark, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect surface. It prioritizes personality and impact, aiming to communicate a handmade, analog feel in contemporary layouts.
Texture remains consistent across the set, with small variations that keep repeated letters from feeling overly uniform. The numerals share the same brushy construction and distressed edges, helping mixed text retain a cohesive, hand-rendered feel.
