A heavy, forward-slanted display face with chunky, brush-like strokes and visibly uneven contours. Edges are ragged and slightly wavy, giving the letters a printed-by-hand feel with intermittent nicks and soft corners rather than crisp terminals. Counters are compact and somewhat irregular, and joins are blunt, producing dense black shapes with a lively, imperfect rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and texture, maintaining the same roughened silhouette and casual consistency.
Works best for attention-grabbing headlines and short bursts of copy in posters, music and entertainment graphics, event flyers, and merchandise. It’s also well-suited to packaging accents or editorial openers where a rough, handcrafted impact is desired, especially when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and gritty, with an expressive, handmade attitude that reads as rebellious and streetwise. The slant and rough texture add urgency and motion, while the rounded, chunky forms keep it approachable and slightly playful rather than severe.
This design appears intended to capture the look of bold lettering made with an inked brush or marker and then reproduced with imperfect printing or wear. The goal is impact and personality over refinement, delivering a strong silhouette with a deliberately rough, tactile finish.
At larger sizes the texture and irregular outlines become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and distressed edges may visually fill in and reduce clarity. The font’s texture appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel cohesive in mixed-case settings.
