A heavy, rounded display face with brush-like strokes and intentionally irregular outlines. Letterforms are built from chunky shapes with soft corners, but the edges break up into nicks, frays, and ink-bleed textures that create a worn, stamped/painted impression. Counters are generally open and rounded, with occasional rough interior artifacts; stroke endings vary between blunt terminals and ragged, torn-looking tips. Overall rhythm is lively and uneven in a controlled way, giving the alphabet a tactile, hand-rendered consistency rather than strict geometric precision.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, and bold pull quotes where the rough edge treatment can be appreciated. It can also work well for packaging, album artwork, and event flyers that benefit from a gritty, handmade voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The texture and chunky forms give the type a loud, mischievous tone—equal parts street-postering grit and cartoon energy. It feels informal and expressive, suggesting motion, noise, and a deliberately messy, DIY attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a deliberately weathered, inked surface—capturing the feel of brush lettering or rough print reproduction while keeping letter shapes simple and readable for display use.
The distressed detailing is strong enough to become a primary visual feature, especially in curved letters and bowls where the interior scuffing is most visible. Spacing and proportions read as display-oriented, with the texture likely to soften small-size crispness while adding character at larger sizes.
