A heavy, slanted display face with energetic, brush-like letterforms and visibly roughened contours. Strokes show abrupt tapering, nicks, and torn edges, with occasional interior scuffs that mimic uneven ink coverage. The construction mixes rounded bowls with sharply angled terminals, creating a punchy rhythm and a slightly irregular baseline and stroke flow. Counters remain generally open for a distressed style, while widths and sidebearings vary enough to reinforce an organic, hand-drawn feel in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the distressed detailing can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, and brand marks needing a gritty, handmade voice. It can work for short bursts of text in themed layouts, but the texture and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is loud and playful, with a rebellious, street-poster attitude. Its rough texture and lively slant suggest motion and immediacy, leaning toward comic, skate, or punk-adjacent moods rather than polished refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, hand-inked impact with intentional wear and irregularity, evoking rough printing or fast brush lettering. The goal appears to be character and attitude first, with enough structure to stay legible in display settings.
Uppercase forms read as compact and emphatic, while lowercase keeps a friendly, bouncy silhouette that helps maintain readability despite the abrasion. Numerals are similarly textured and angular, matching the font’s aggressive, ink-scraped personality.
