A slanted, brush-driven display face with compact proportions and lively, variable stroke texture. Letterforms are built from tapered strokes with abrupt terminals and visibly rough edges, suggesting a dry-brush or ink drag effect. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially filled by texture, while curves and diagonals show fluctuating thickness that adds bounce and uneven rhythm. Overall spacing is moderately tight, with a slightly compressed feel and strong, dark silhouettes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where the textured strokes and slanted motion can be read as a stylistic feature. It also works well for album art, event promotions, packaging accents, and apparel graphics that benefit from a rough, handmade voice. For small UI text or long reading, the heavy texture and irregular rhythm may reduce clarity.
The font conveys a rugged, street-level confidence—expressive, imperfect, and intentionally messy. Its energetic slant and scratchy texture lend a DIY, zine-like attitude that feels bold and immediate rather than polished or formal.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick, forceful brush lettering with a deliberately worn print texture. The goal appears to be maximum personality and impact—an expressive, hand-rendered feel that retains legibility while embracing imperfections.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, but the set keeps a hand-made variability that prevents overly uniform color in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same textured construction, with distinctive, angular gestures and occasional spurs that reinforce the drawn-by-hand character.
