A heavy, slanted brush style with strongly textured strokes and rough, torn-looking edges. Letterforms are built from broad, tapered marks that show sharp angle changes and uneven stroke boundaries, creating a high-ink, dry-brush feel. Counters are compact and often irregular, terminals are pointed or bluntly chopped, and spacing is lively rather than mechanically even, reinforcing the hand-rendered rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and impact are desirable, such as posters, album/cover graphics, apparel and streetwear branding, or energetic event promotions. It can also work for emphatic pull quotes and social media graphics, but the strong texture and irregularity make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, with a spontaneous, streetwise energy. Its gritty texture and quick, brushed construction give it a raw, assertive personality that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted lettering—fast strokes, visible brush texture, and assertive shapes—while keeping enough structure for readable display typography.
Uppercase shapes stay legible while remaining highly gestural, and the lowercase maintains a consistent slant with simplified, brush-script cues (notably in single-storey a/g forms and narrow, hooked descenders). Numerals follow the same painted construction with irregular curves and tapered joins, matching the alphabet’s rough texture.
