This typeface uses tall, compressed proportions with a forward slant and thick strokes that read as inked or brush-cut. Letterforms show deliberate irregularities: terminals are jagged, counters can be slightly uneven, and many glyphs feature distressed break-up and splatter-like edges. Curves are tightened and often flattened, giving rounds like O/Q a pinched, vertical feel, while diagonals and joins appear abrupt and energetic. Overall spacing is tight and the texture across words is rough and lively rather than smooth and typographic.
Best used at display sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated—such as posters, punchy headlines, album/track art, game or stream titles, and energetic event flyers. It can also work for short packaging callouts or stickers when a rough, handmade impact is desired, but it’s less suited to long-form text because the texture and compression can accumulate visual noise.
The overall tone is unruly and high-energy, suggesting a gritty, handmade aesthetic with a sense of urgency. The distressed finish and exaggerated slant create a dramatic, slightly confrontational voice that feels suited to loud, attention-seeking messaging rather than refined reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display voice with intentionally imperfect, worn edges to simulate ink drag, chipping, or brush scuff. Its irregular outlines and lively rhythm prioritize character and attitude over neutrality, aiming to make simple phrases feel louder and more visceral.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, eroded finish, producing a strong, consistent texture across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the condensed stance and show the same chipped edges, helping headlines and short callouts keep a cohesive, distressed rhythm.
