A heavy, right-slanted display face with thick, blobby strokes and aggressively irregular edges. Letterforms show a brush-and-ink construction with frequent chisel-like nicks and torn-looking terminals, creating a rough silhouette. Counters are often reduced to small slits or partially collapsed, producing dense, high-impact shapes. Spacing appears tight and the overall texture is dark and compact, with occasional stroke notches and protrusions that add jittery rhythm across words.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, flyer headlines, album/mixtape covers, streetwear graphics, and attention-grabbing packaging or labels. It works well when the goal is to add grit and attitude to short phrases, logos, or large typographic statements rather than extended reading.
The font projects a gritty, streetwise energy with a slightly menacing, splattered-ink attitude. Its rough contours and dark massing read as loud and confrontational, suggesting punk flyer aesthetics, skate graphics, or horror-comic titling. The slant and brushy motion add urgency and a hand-made edge.
The design appears intended to mimic a fast, loaded brush or marker dragged across the page, then distressed to feel torn, splattered, and imperfect. Its dense counters and rugged edges prioritize mood and punch over clarity, aiming for a bold, expressive voice that feels hand-made and raw.
At text sizes the dense interiors and ragged contours can cause letters to merge, so it reads best when given breathing room and used for short bursts. Numerals and capitals maintain the same rough, inked treatment, keeping the tone consistent across headings and punchy callouts.
