A rough brush-lettered display face with dense, inky strokes and visibly irregular edges. Forms are built from quick, tapered strokes that swell and pinch, creating sharp joins and occasional blobby terminals. The texture reads like dry-brush or worn marker on paper, with uneven contours and small interior nicks that add a printed-from-handmade feel. Spacing is loose and somewhat unpredictable, reinforcing the casual rhythm and giving words a lively, broken baseline color.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, album covers, event promotions, and punchy editorial headings. It also works for labels and packaging where a handmade, gritty voice is desired. Use at larger sizes to preserve the ragged stroke detail and avoid situations that require dense body copy or crisp UI legibility.
The overall tone is rebellious and street-level, with a handmade immediacy that feels loud and unpolished. Its rough texture suggests urgency and attitude—more punk flyer than polished brand system—while still staying readable at headline sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic fast brush signage and distressed hand lettering, prioritizing texture and attitude over uniform precision. Its uneven stroke edges and lively rhythm are tuned to communicate a handmade, expressive voice in display contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same brush logic, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact counters that can fill in at smaller sizes. Numerals are similarly gestural and slightly uneven, matching the lettering rather than aiming for geometric consistency. The face gains character when allowed generous size and air around lines, where the texture and stroke taper remain distinct.
