A condensed, hand-drawn print style with heavy, brushy strokes and visibly textured edges. Letterforms lean backward with an irregular, carved-by-hand rhythm, mixing sharp wedges and slightly rounded bowls. Stroke terminals are rough and tapered, with occasional notches and uneven ink density that creates a scratchy, dry-brush feel. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, poster-like texture while keeping a consistent overall thickness and presence.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event promos, album/merch graphics, and expressive packaging. It can work for logos or wordmarks when a handmade, gritty tone is desired, and it benefits from larger sizes where the rough stroke texture can read clearly.
The font conveys a rebellious, gritty attitude—more zine and garage-show flyer than polished signage. Its backward slant and distressed stroke texture add urgency and a slightly chaotic tone, reading as bold, raw, and expressive. The overall feeling is playful-aggressive, suited to loud statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, assertive brush lettering with deliberate roughness and a compact, vertical footprint. Its backward lean and distressed edges suggest a goal of adding attitude and motion while keeping letterforms tight enough for punchy display settings.
The uppercase set reads like compact display caps with strong diagonals and spiky details, while the lowercase keeps the same rough, brush-cut construction for cohesion. Numerals share the same jagged terminals and condensed proportions, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified. In longer lines, the textured edges create a busy surface, so clarity depends on generous size and contrast.
