A heavy, brush-driven display face with a consistent rightward slant and chunky, high-impact letterforms. Strokes show strong pressure changes and frequent tapering, with rough, torn-looking edges and small voids that mimic dry-brush or worn ink. Counters are generally compact and irregular, and joins are abrupt, giving the shapes a handmade, imperfect rhythm. Spacing reads slightly uneven by design, reinforcing the organic, distressed construction while remaining legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where texture is an asset: posters, album/mixtape artwork, streetwear graphics, event flyers, and punchy headlines. It will read most clearly at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed edges and interior breakups can be appreciated without filling in.
The font conveys a gritty, hand-painted attitude—bold, loud, and unapologetically rough. Its distressed texture suggests urgency and motion, aligning with street, skate, and underground aesthetics rather than refined editorial tones.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, brush-lettered look with deliberate abrasion and ink breakup, capturing the feel of fast paint strokes or rough printing. It prioritizes personality and impact over smoothness, providing a ready-made gritty tone for themed display typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a unified brush texture and slanted stance, with rounded forms (like O) staying compact and dense while angular letters pick up more jagged terminals. Numerals match the same painted weight and edge wear, keeping the set visually cohesive in display contexts.
