A slanted, brush-driven letterform with heavy, compact shapes and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes have low modulation and end in blunt, slightly frayed terminals that create a stamped/painted texture. Curves and counters are simplified and sometimes tight, with a lively baseline and uneven edge fidelity that reads like dry-brush ink on absorbent paper. Overall spacing is moderately tight and widths vary by glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm.
Best suited for short to medium display copy such as posters, event promos, packaging callouts, labels, apparel graphics, and bold social/thumbnail headlines. It can work for brief brand statements or pull quotes, but the distressed edges and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form text or very small sizes.
The font conveys a rough, punchy confidence with a casual, human feel. Its distressed brush texture suggests grit and motion, evoking vintage posters, DIY signage, and expressive, street-level graphics rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted brush lettering while adding a worn, inked texture for attitude and impact. It prioritizes character and energy over geometric precision, aiming for a bold, expressive display voice.
Capitals are assertive and blocky while lowercase maintains a quick, handwritten cadence; both share the same rough perimeter and slightly jittery stroke finish. Numerals are similarly bold and compact, suited to display use where the texture is allowed to show.
