A compact, heavy display face built from chunky brush-like strokes with visibly uneven edges and occasional interior speckling. The letterforms are mostly upright and simplified, with narrow counters and short crossbars that emphasize a tall, condensed silhouette. Stroke endings look dry-brushed and slightly frayed, creating a rhythmic, imperfect texture across words. Curves and diagonals are rounded and soft rather than geometric, and the overall spacing reads tight and energetic.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, badges, and product packaging where the rough brush texture can be a focal point. It also works well for music and event promotions, craft branding, and thematic graphics that benefit from an imperfect printed look.
The font conveys a handmade, gritty attitude—casual and bold, with a screen-printed or stamped feel. Its rough texture adds immediacy and personality, landing somewhere between street-poster toughness and playful DIY craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold condensed display voice with an intentionally worn, brush-painted texture. It prioritizes expressive surface character and punchy silhouette over clean detail, aiming for a tactile, analog impression in modern layouts.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, so the distressed character reads clearly even at headline sizes. The bold weight and narrow counters can cause dense areas in longer lines, making the surface texture a dominant visual feature.
