A forceful, brush-drawn display face with thick, ink-heavy strokes and visibly ragged edges. Letterforms lean forward with a lively, handwritten rhythm, mixing broad wedges, tapered ends, and abrupt stroke breaks that suggest a fast, loaded brush. Counters are irregular and often small, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a jagged, organic texture. The baseline feel is slightly uneven, and the overall silhouette reads as bold blocks punctuated by sharp notches and pointed terminals.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, flyers, packaging callouts, album/track artwork, and bold social graphics where a hand-painted look is desirable. It works well for short phrases, titles, and punchy emphasis lines rather than extended reading.
The font conveys urgency and attitude, with a rough, improvised energy that feels loud and immediate. Its spiky brush texture and forward slant give it a rebellious, high-impact tone suited to expressive, non-polished messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush lettering with intentionally imperfect edges and variable forms, prioritizing impact and personality over uniformity. The goal is a tactile, hand-made presence that reads like painted signage or marker/brush strokes captured in type.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the textured edges and irregular counters can be appreciated; in longer text blocks the dense weight and uneven detailing can become visually busy. Numerals and capitals match the same aggressive brush language, keeping the set consistent for short headlines and emphatic callouts.
