A rough, brush-driven display face with heavily textured contours and irregular terminals. Strokes show abrupt weight shifts and broken, dry-brush edges that create a chipped silhouette, while counters stay fairly open for a distressed style. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact, slightly condensed proportions and uneven stroke endings that read like quick marker or paint strokes. Spacing feels lively and a bit uneven, emphasizing the handmade rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for short-form display settings where texture is an asset—posters, album or playlist artwork, event flyers, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for social media graphics and title cards when used at sizes large enough to preserve the distressed detail.
The overall tone is raw and energetic, suggesting DIY printing, street graphics, and rebellious poster culture. Its distressed texture adds grit and immediacy, while the simplified, chunky shapes keep the mood approachable and slightly playful rather than purely aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, tactile, hand-made look with a deliberately worn surface. It prioritizes impact and texture over refinement, creating a quick, expressive voice for themed or gritty display typography.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with noticeable roughness at joins and along outer curves. Round characters (like O and 0) show scuffed edges and imperfect symmetry, reinforcing an analog, imperfect finish that becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
