A heavy, brush-driven italic with visibly textured edges and uneven ink distribution that creates a dry-brush, stamped feel. Strokes taper and swell with pronounced contrast, and terminals are blunt or frayed rather than clean-cut. Letterforms show slight irregularities in width and spacing, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered rhythm while maintaining clear, readable silhouettes. The lowercase is compact with a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, and the numerals follow the same paint-like texture and forward slant.
Well suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, music and nightlife promotions, apparel graphics, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for short editorial headlines or pull quotes when a tactile, brush-mark presence is desired, but the distressed texture favors medium-to-large sizes for best clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and expressive, suggesting urgency and motion with a distinctly handmade attitude. Its rough, inky texture reads as bold and streetwise rather than polished, lending a raw, human energy to headlines and short statements.
Likely designed to mimic fast, pressure-driven brush lettering and imperfect print, delivering a bold, kinetic look with deliberate roughness. The goal appears to be a confident, handcrafted voice that feels immediate and expressive rather than refined.
Texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, so the distressed character feels intentional rather than incidental. The pronounced slant and heavy color create strong momentum, while the rough edges introduce visual noise that becomes more prominent at smaller sizes.
