An italic, brush-leaning display face with visibly rough, distressed contours and irregular stroke terminals. Letters show medium contrast and an energetic, forward rhythm, with variable stroke width and slight waviness that suggests wet ink or a dry brush on textured paper. Proportions are compact and somewhat narrow, with a notably short x-height and long, lively ascenders/descenders in the lowercase. Texture is consistent across the set, with occasional notches, frayed edges, and uneven joins that keep the forms organic rather than geometric.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, album artwork, book covers, and brand marks that benefit from a gritty, handmade presence. It also works well for themed headers, pull quotes, packaging callouts, and social graphics where texture and attitude are more important than long-form readability.
The overall tone is raw and handcrafted, balancing spooky grit with casual immediacy. Its distressed finish and slanted motion evoke occult poster lettering, indie zines, and DIY signage—dramatic, slightly unruly, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to capture the look of expressive brush lettering that has been worn, scraped, or printed imperfectly, delivering a cinematic, distressed flavor while keeping letterforms legible for display use.
Uppercase shapes remain readable but keep a painterly looseness, while the lowercase has a more handwritten flow. Numerals follow the same distressed brush logic, with open counters and tapered ends that emphasize motion and texture over precision.
