A condensed, forward-leaning display face with a brush-and-ink construction and heavily irregular contours. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, occasional blots, and frayed edges that suggest dry brush drag or rough printing. Counters are small and sometimes partially choked by texture, creating a dense, punchy silhouette. Overall rhythm is lively and uneven, with subtle per-glyph shape variation that reinforces the handcrafted feel while keeping letterforms broadly legible.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album or podcast artwork, headlines, and promotional graphics where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also fits apparel and sticker-style designs that benefit from a rugged, printed-on feel; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a gritty, urgent tone—more street, punk, and DIY than polished editorial. Its rough texture and aggressive slant read as loud and expressive, evoking stamped posters, distressed signage, and worn printed ephemera.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive brush lettering that has been reproduced imperfectly—capturing ink breakup, worn edges, and high-energy stroke movement for bold, attention-grabbing display typography.
The alphabet shows noticeable texture embedded along stems and curves, with scratchy voids and uneven edges that become a key part of the letter identity. The forward slant and narrow proportions tighten word shapes, and the strong texture can visually merge in longer text, especially where counters are tight and joins are heavy.
