A rough, hand-drawn italic with brushlike strokes and deliberately irregular contours. Letterforms lean forward with lively, variable stroke width and visibly frayed edges, creating a textured silhouette. Shapes are simplified and angular in places, with uneven terminals and inconsistent stroke joins that mimic quick marker or dry-brush writing. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a casual, hand-rendered rhythm while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where texture and attitude are assets, such as posters, title cards, album artwork, game titles, and edgy branding. It works well for short phrases, pull quotes, and packaging accents that want a handmade, distressed feel. For longer paragraphs, it’s most effective when set large with generous line spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone feels gritty and immediate, like hand-lettering made for impact rather than polish. Its ragged texture adds a slightly ominous, rebellious edge that can read as worn, underground, or DIY. The forward slant and sharp, restless forms give it momentum and urgency.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast, forceful brush lettering with a worn or scraped finish, emphasizing personality and movement over geometric precision. The italic slant and uneven stroke energy suggest an aim for expressive, dramatic typography that reads as handcrafted and intentionally rough.
Capitals are bold and assertive with strong, irregular strokes, while lowercase keeps the same rough texture and forward motion. Numerals share the same distressed, hand-cut look, maintaining consistency across alphanumerics. The texture is pronounced enough that very small sizes may lose crispness, but it contributes strong character in headlines and short lines.
