A rough, ink-heavy display face with irregular brush-like strokes and visibly distressed edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a broad stance, featuring inconsistent stroke widths and jagged terminals that suggest dry-brush or worn print texture. Counters are often partially pinched or uneven, and curves show wobble and overshoot that adds to the handmade rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing an improvised, organic feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/EP art, film or game titles, book covers, and gritty packaging or label graphics. It can also work for headings in themed designs where texture and attitude are more important than clean readability.
The font projects an aggressive, gritty tone—more DIY than polished—evoking underground posters, eerie titles, and distressed stamp/brush lettering. Its texture reads as noisy and energetic, giving text a tense, imperfect edge that feels intentionally rough and expressive.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering and distressed printing, prioritizing texture, movement, and a raw handmade aesthetic over typographic regularity. Its irregular contours and ink breakup are used as a stylistic device to add grit and atmosphere.
At larger sizes the distressed contour and stroke breakup are a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the internal roughness and tight apertures can reduce clarity. Numerals match the same brushy construction and irregular edges, keeping a consistent, handmade personality across the set.
