A condensed, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and irregular, distressed edges. Stems are mostly straight and upright, but the contours wobble subtly, with occasional tapering and ink drag that creates ragged terminals. The uppercase shows simplified, blocky structures while the lowercase leans more casual and uneven, producing a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and legible, though texture and bite marks along curves give the forms a worn, printed feel.
Works best for display sizes where the distressed details can be seen clearly—posters, editorial headlines, music or event graphics, packaging accents, and merchandise. It’s well suited to short phrases, title treatments, and impactful branding moments rather than long body text.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, suggesting handmade signage or rough screen/brush lettering. Its texture adds attitude and a slightly chaotic, rebellious flavor while staying readable enough for short statements.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering and imperfect printing, combining a condensed silhouette with consistent wear to create a bold, textured voice for thematic display work.
Distress is consistent across the set, with small chips and streaks appearing at stroke ends and along curved joins. Spacing feels compact and the narrow set width helps create a tight, punchy word shape, especially in all caps.
