A rough, brush-driven display face with dense, ink-heavy strokes and aggressively irregular contours. Letterforms show torn, feathered edges, occasional ink blobs, and uneven terminals that suggest quick, forceful marking. Proportions are lively and inconsistent in a controlled way, with variable character widths and slightly slanted construction that keeps lines moving forward. Counters are often tight and imperfect, and joins can appear smeared or broken, emphasizing texture over refinement.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where texture and attitude are the message—posters, music artwork, game titles, and high-impact promotional graphics. It can work as an accent in branding or packaging when a rough, hand-made edge is desired, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The overall tone is confrontational and energetic, with a dirty, street-level immediacy. Its distressed texture and jagged silhouettes feel rebellious and dramatic, lending a sense of urgency and impact rather than polish or neutrality.
Designed to capture the look of distressed brush lettering or degraded print, prioritizing visceral texture and irregular rhythm for maximum personality. The intent appears to be a loud, tactile display voice that instantly signals intensity and grit.
In text settings the heavy texture remains prominent, creating strong shape-based word recognition but reduced clarity in smaller sizes. The numerals and uppercase forms are particularly forceful and blocky, while lowercase retains the same scratchy rhythm, producing a consistently rugged voice across the set.
