A heavy, display-oriented Latin with chunky letterforms and conspicuously rough, brush-like edges. Strokes show irregular, torn-looking terminals and occasional interior scuffs, creating a printed-wear texture rather than smooth outlines. Counters are generally open and rounded, while curves and joins wobble slightly, producing uneven rhythm and a hand-rendered feel. The overall silhouette stays readable at larger sizes, with intentional inconsistencies in stroke contour and width that add grit to the forms.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, cover art, and promotional graphics where texture and personality are an asset. It can work well on packaging or labels that benefit from a handmade, gritty voice, and for title treatments in games or themed designs. For longer passages, it will be more effective at larger sizes where the distressed details remain clear.
The font conveys an energetic, scrappy attitude—like wet ink dragged across paper or a distressed poster pulled from a street wall. Its roughness reads as expressive and rebellious, balancing humor and bite in a way that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush lettering and worn print artifacts, combining chunky forms with deliberate edge damage to create a loud, handcrafted display voice.
Texture is distributed across most glyphs, with visible nicks along verticals and curves that create a lively, vibrating edge. The numerals and caps maintain the same rugged treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for bold headlines and short bursts of text.
