A slanted, brush-script style with assertive, ink-heavy strokes and visibly roughened edges. Letterforms show pronounced stroke modulation, with thick downstrokes and sharper, tapering terminals that create a lively, hand-rendered rhythm. Shapes are compact and slightly irregular, with uneven contours and occasional ink blots or breaks that read like dry-brush or worn print texture. Capitals carry bold, gestural silhouettes while lowercase remains tight and cursive-leaning, producing a dense, animated texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display applications where texture and personality are assets: posters, headlines, album covers, event promotions, apparel graphics, and packaging. It also works well for logo lockups or short taglines where the distressed brush detail can be appreciated without compromising readability.
The font conveys a gritty, expressive tone—part handmade lettering, part weathered print. Its textured marks and dramatic contrast suggest urgency and attitude, with a vintage, poster-like edge that feels imperfect in an intentional, character-forward way.
Designed to mimic energetic brush lettering with a deliberately worn, ink-textured finish. The intent appears to prioritize expressive rhythm and dramatic contrast over neutrality, delivering a bold, handcrafted look for themed and attention-grabbing typography.
Counters tend to be small and the joins can be dark, which increases impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same brushy construction and irregular weight, helping maintain a consistent, handcrafted voice across display settings.
