A chunky, hand-rendered all-caps and lowercase with rough, brushlike contours and irregular outer edges. Strokes are heavy and slightly wavering, with subtly inconsistent thickness and terminals that taper or fray, creating a dry-ink look. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and the overall rhythm is deliberately unpolished, with noticeable variation in letter widths and character-to-character texture. Numerals match the same handmade construction, with rounded forms and visibly distressed outlines.
Works best for display applications where texture is an asset: posters, album/cover art, event promotions, merchandise graphics, and expressive packaging. It’s also suitable for short headlines, pull quotes, and signage where a handmade, distressed tone is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The font communicates a raw, gritty energy with a casual, handmade confidence. Its rough texture and irregularity lean toward expressive, rebellious messaging—more punk flyer and DIY zine than polished branding—while still remaining friendly and readable at display sizes.
Designed to mimic quick, bold brush lettering and imperfect ink transfer, prioritizing texture and attitude over smooth precision. The intention appears to be an attention-grabbing display face with a strong black silhouette and visible wear that adds character in large sizes.
The most distinctive trait is the consistent edge wear across nearly all glyphs, which produces strong texture when set in words and lines. Spacing appears visually compact in running text, and the dark color mass can build quickly in paragraphs, making it best used with generous size and leading.
