A rough, hand-rendered display face with thick, ink-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms feel carved or brushed in quickly, with uneven terminals, occasional splatter-like nicks, and a slightly wobbly stroke path that keeps the texture lively. Proportions are compact and condensed, with tight counters and simplified shapes that prioritize impact over refinement; curves are chunky and corners often taper or fray rather than ending cleanly. The rhythm is energetic and inconsistent in a deliberate way, giving lines of text a gritty, poster-like presence.
Best suited to attention-grabbing applications such as posters, event promos, album or playlist covers, apparel graphics, and bold packaging accents. It performs well in short headlines, labels, and punchy captions where the textured edges can be appreciated; for longer passages, the dense forms and roughness may reduce readability at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a rebellious, DIY attitude with a gritty, street-level energy. Its distressed brush texture reads loud and expressive, suggesting underground flyers, zines, or band merch rather than polished editorial typography. The tone can also feel mischievous and comic, especially in short phrases where the uneven edges add personality.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-brushed lettering, preserving natural imperfections to create attitude and texture. Its condensed, high-impact forms suggest a goal of maximizing presence in limited space while keeping a distinctly handmade feel.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar hand-drawn logic, maintaining a consistent texture across the set while allowing noticeable glyph-to-glyph variation. Numerals match the same rough, inked construction, making the overall palette cohesive for headlines and short callouts.
