A rough, brush-driven display face with thick strokes and visibly uneven contours. Letterforms are built from confident, upright skeletons but rendered with irregular edges, occasional gaps, and scratchy interiors that mimic dry-brush ink and worn printing. Stroke endings are blunt and frayed rather than cleanly tapered, and curves often show choppy, textured outlines. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a hand-made rhythm and an intentionally unpolished texture at both headline and text-sample sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, gig and event flyers, album/mixtape artwork, and apparel graphics where texture is part of the message. It also works for editorial pull quotes or chapter openers when you want a rough, hand-printed emphasis, but it’s most effective when used sparingly and at larger sizes to preserve clarity.
The font projects a gritty, DIY attitude—more underground poster than polished branding. Its distressed texture and assertive stroke weight suggest urgency, noise, and rebellious energy, with a slightly chaotic, street-level feel that reads as expressive and confrontational rather than refined.
The design appears intended to capture the look of hand-painted or quickly brushed lettering that has been photocopied, weathered, or overprinted. Its goal is to deliver strong presence with deliberate imperfections, prioritizing character and texture over uniformity.
Counters tend to be partially closed or uneven, and enclosed shapes like O/Q/8 show strong interior texture that can darken at smaller sizes. The overall silhouette remains legible, but the distressed detailing becomes the dominant feature when set tightly or used in longer passages.
