A heavy, hand-rendered display face with chunky strokes and visibly roughened contours. Letterforms are built from broad, brush-like shapes with ragged edges, uneven stroke boundaries, and occasional interior nicks that suggest dry ink or worn printing. Counters tend to be small and irregular, and overall spacing reads a bit loose and organic, with small per-glyph variations that reinforce an analog, distressed texture. The alphabet maintains clear, simple silhouettes while preserving a deliberately imperfect, ink-scraped finish.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, album or book covers, and branding accents where a gritty handmade texture is desired. It can also work on packaging or labels when printed at sizes large enough for the distressed details to remain clear.
The tone is gritty and energetic, combining a casual handmade feel with an assertive, poster-ready weight. Its distressed texture adds a rebellious, DIY character—more zine and gig-poster than polished editorial—while still staying approachable and slightly playful.
Likely designed to mimic bold brush lettering or rough screen-printed type, capturing the irregularities of ink, pressure, and wear. The goal appears to be a strong, legible silhouette paired with an intentionally imperfect surface for expressive, thematic display typography.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving blocks of text a speckled, stamped look. Uppercase forms feel especially bold and blocky, while lowercase keeps the same brushy construction with compact counters, making the overall color dense and attention-grabbing.
