A rough, brush-driven display face with compact proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes show pronounced tapering, blunt terminals, and frequent dry-brush breakup that creates speckled interiors and uneven edges. Letterforms are simplified and chunky, with lively stroke direction changes and slight irregularities that keep the rhythm human and imperfect. Counters are relatively small and often partially closed by texture, giving the alphabet a dense, punchy color on the page.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: posters, music and nightlife graphics, packaging accents, and bold social media headlines. It also works well for thematic titling—especially where a rugged, hand-rendered feel is desired—while extended small-size text will likely lose some clarity due to the heavy texture.
The overall tone feels handmade and street-level, like painted signage or marker-and-brush lettering reproduced through imperfect printing. Its texture and slant add urgency and motion, projecting an edgy, informal confidence rather than polish or restraint.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, assertive brush lettering with intentional wear and print artifacts. It prioritizes expressive texture, movement, and a handmade silhouette over uniformity, aiming to deliver immediate character in display typography.
Texture density varies from glyph to glyph, producing a naturally distressed cadence in running text. Rounded letters (like O, Q, and e) keep a soft core shape while the outer contour remains ragged, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize the brisk, brushy momentum. Numerals match the same painted, slightly irregular construction for cohesive headline use.
