A heavy, brush-driven display face with visibly ragged contours and uneven stroke endings. Forms are built from broad, high-contrast marks that swell and taper, with frequent nicks, gaps, and rough interior edges that mimic dry brush or worn ink. Proportions are irregular across the set, with bouncy baseline behavior and variable character widths that create a lively, handmade rhythm. Counters are generally open and simplified, while terminals often finish in sharp, scratch-like points or blunt, paint-loaded stops.
Best suited for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, album/playlist artwork, and branded graphics that want a raw, hand-rendered look. It performs especially well in short bursts of text and large sizes, where the distressed edges and brush modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, combining a handmade spontaneity with a slightly abrasive, distressed texture. It feels informal and expressive—more like bold marker or brush lettering than a polished text face—conveying attitude, motion, and a DIY sensibility.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering with a controlled distressed finish, giving designers a ready-made grunge texture without needing custom artwork. The intent appears to prioritize personality and impact over uniformity, creating a bold, expressive voice for themed and attention-grabbing typography.
The texture is consistent enough to read as an intentional effect rather than random noise, but it remains visibly uneven at small details, which will become more pronounced as size increases. The numerals and uppercase share the same rough-brush construction, helping headings and short phrases keep a cohesive, poster-like presence.
