A slanted, brush-driven display face with jagged, dry-brush edges and strong stroke modulation that creates sharp thick–thin swings. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with pointed terminals, uneven contours, and occasional ink-break textures that read like fast marker or brush lettering. Spacing is lively and irregular, with a handcrafted rhythm and a forward-leaning stance that keeps words moving across the line.
Best suited to display sizes where the rough edges and brush texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging accents, album art, and apparel graphics. It also works well for short punchy phrases, logos, and social graphics that benefit from a raw, handmade feel; for longer text, the heavy texture and irregular rhythm will read more as an effect than a body copy solution.
The overall tone is gritty and urgent, evoking DIY signage, underground posters, and high-energy editorial treatments. Its rough texture and aggressive angles convey intensity and attitude rather than refinement, giving it a loud, expressive presence in short bursts.
This font appears designed to mimic quick, forceful brush lettering with intentional wear and ink breakup, delivering a distressed, human-made impression. The emphasis is on impact and character, prioritizing expressive texture and motion over uniformity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, but with enough variance and texture to keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same distressed, hand-rendered character, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay cohesive.
