A brushy, ink-forward display face with irregular stroke edges and visible texture that suggests dry-brush or worn marker application. Letterforms lean slightly, with bouncy baseline behavior and uneven stroke terminals that create a lively rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with simplified shapes, compact counters, and occasional swelling where strokes overlap or turn. Numerals and capitals keep the same rugged, hand-rendered consistency, prioritizing impact over precision.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album covers, event promos, and packaging where texture is a feature. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes at larger sizes, especially when a raw, analog feel is desired.
The overall tone feels handmade and gritty, with a streetwise, DIY energy. Its rough texture and loose construction evoke spontaneous signage, zines, and bold handwritten headlines rather than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of bold brush lettering with distressed edges, balancing legibility with expressive texture. The aim appears to be a distinctive, hand-made voice that reads quickly while retaining a rough, tactile surface.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and irregular, reinforcing the hand-drawn character in running text. The texture remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping blocks of text read as a cohesive painted/printed surface.
