A condensed, slanted brush-script style with sharp, tapered terminals and visibly uneven edges. Strokes show strong thick-to-thin modulation and a dry-brush texture, with occasional ink breaks and rough contouring that gives each glyph a torn, scratchy silhouette. Forms are loosely cursive in construction but largely unconnected, relying on the consistent rightward slant and narrow proportions to maintain rhythm. Counters are small and irregular, ascenders are prominent, and overall spacing feels tight and energetic.
Well-suited for poster headlines, title treatments, album/mixtape artwork, and packaging that needs a raw, high-impact voice. It can also work for horror/thriller or action-oriented graphics, event promos, and short pull-quotes where texture and urgency are more important than long-form readability.
The font projects a tense, aggressive mood—like hurried marker lettering or distressed show-card writing. Its jagged texture and pointed shapes convey intensity and motion, leaning toward rebellious, underground, and cinematic tones rather than polished elegance.
Likely designed to mimic fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with intentionally degraded edges, combining a narrow italic stance with dramatic contrast to maximize impact in display settings. The goal appears to be expressive immediacy and a worn, gritty finish that feels handmade rather than typographically pristine.
The distressed texture is integral to the letterforms, so it reads best at medium-to-large sizes where the rough stroke behavior remains intentional rather than noisy. Numerals follow the same brushy, high-contrast construction, helping maintain a cohesive voice across headlines and short bursts of text.
