A heavy, brush-driven display face with sharply irregular contours and broken, ragged terminals. Strokes appear built from quick, pressure-varied marks, creating abrupt thick–thin transitions and occasional interior nicks that read like torn ink or dry-brush texture. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with uneven widths and a lively baseline rhythm; bowls and counters are often partially closed or notched, prioritizing impact over refinement. The overall construction stays mostly upright but intentionally inconsistent, giving the set an improvised, hand-rendered look across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications where texture and impact are desirable, such as posters, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, game titles, and dramatic packaging callouts. It performs especially well when set large, where the rough contour detail reads as intentional character rather than clutter.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone with a DIY edge—more street-poster than polished editorial. Its distressed brush texture suggests urgency, noise, and attitude, lending an intense, confrontational energy to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic forceful brush lettering with deliberate wear and ink breakup, providing an instantly expressive, gritty voice for attention-grabbing typography.
Texture is the defining feature: edges look scuffed and chipped, and many joins appear smeared or snapped, which increases visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same torn-ink treatment and bold presence, keeping the texture consistent across alphanumerics.
