A slanted, brush-pen style face with thick, tapered strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms show dry-brush texture, with occasional gaps and rough terminals that create a worn, ink-on-paper feel. Proportions are compact with a relatively low lowercase profile, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle irregularities in width and stroke shape that read as hand-rendered rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover art, social graphics, packaging accents, and apparel or sticker-style designs where texture is an asset. It performs well when given room to breathe and printed or displayed at medium-to-large sizes, where the distressed brush detail remains legible.
The font conveys an informal, streetwise personality—confident and punchy, with a slightly rebellious, DIY character. Its rough texture and quick brush movement suggest spontaneity and motion, giving headlines a raw, human voice.
Likely designed to mimic fast, confident brush lettering with a deliberately rough edge, capturing the look of ink drag and imperfect coverage. The goal appears to be an authentic handmade impression that adds attitude and immediacy to display typography.
Capitals are simplified and gestural, leaning toward sign-painting and marker lettering rather than classical calligraphy. Curves and joins often show brush drag and pressure changes, which adds personality but also increases visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same textured, painted construction and feel consistent with the alphabet.
