A rough, brushy print with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly textured contours. Strokes are thick with sharp tapers and occasional flare-outs, creating noticeable contrast between dense verticals and thinner joins. Edges look scraped and uneven, with small voids and nicks that mimic dry-brush or ink drag. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with variable character widths and a lively baseline that reads intentionally imperfect rather than mechanical.
Well suited to short, high-impact display settings such as posters, event flyers, album/cover art, merchandise graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for dramatic pull quotes or section headers where the distressed texture is part of the message. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and assertive, with a handmade immediacy that feels like lettering pulled from posters, zines, or stamped/painted signage. The texture adds urgency and attitude, leaning rebellious and streetwise rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, forceful hand-lettering with a dry-brush or worn-ink effect, prioritizing personality and motion over uniform refinement. Its condensed, slanted structure and distressed stroke edges aim to deliver punchy emphasis and a tactile, analog feel in modern layouts.
Capitals carry a blocky, carved-in presence while lowercase stays similarly weighty and upright-to-slanted, keeping rhythm consistent across mixed-case text. Numerals match the same distressed construction, making the set feel cohesive in headline-style compositions. The heavy texture can visually fill in at small sizes, so the face tends to read best when given room.
