A condensed, slanted display face with a dry-brush, ink-stamped texture and strongly irregular contours. Strokes fluctuate between thin, scratchy marks and heavy, blotted masses, creating abrupt contrast and frequent ink buildup that collapses counters in several glyphs. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven, with jagged terminals, choppy curves, and a slightly shaky baseline impression that reads as intentionally imperfect rather than mechanical.
Best suited to posters, covers, and headline-driven editorial where texture and mood are the primary goal. It can work well for branding accents, packaging labels, and event graphics that benefit from a rough, analog imprint, but it will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed detail can read clearly.
The font conveys a gritty, analog character—part typewriter/print artifact, part brush-lettered spontaneity. Its dark ink blotches and torn edges suggest urgency and attitude, lending a moody, underground or retro-pulpy tone to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to emulate an imperfect ink application—like a worn stamp, brush-painted lettering, or degraded print—while keeping a compact, slanted silhouette for punchy display impact. Its irregular edges and occasional counter collapse prioritize atmosphere and personality over neutral readability.
Legibility varies by letter due to occasional filled-in interiors and heavy spots that simplify shapes into bold silhouettes, especially in rounded characters and some numerals. In text settings the texture remains prominent, so the type reads more like a printed impression than clean digital outlines.
