A slanted, brush-driven display face with energetic, uneven strokes and pronounced texture throughout. Letterforms show broken edges, ink drag, and occasional interior gaps that mimic dry-brush or rough print pickup, creating a consistent distressed surface. Strokes alternate between thick swells and tapered exits, with a slightly jittery baseline and irregular terminals that keep the rhythm animated. Counters are often partially closed or nicked, and joins can look smeared or overpainted, reinforcing a handmade feel while keeping silhouettes recognizable.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, event promotions, album/track artwork, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and punchy headlines. It can also support brand marks or badges when a handmade, weathered look is desired, but the rough detail may overwhelm at very small sizes or in long body text.
The font conveys a gritty, spirited tone—like hand-painted signage, gig posters, or stamped packaging where imperfection is part of the personality. Its texture adds urgency and attitude, reading as informal, bold, and a bit rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush marks while baking in a worn, imperfect print character. Its goal is impact and personality—delivering a dynamic slanted rhythm and tactile texture suitable for themed, expressive typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward compact, poster-like silhouettes, while lowercase stays similarly gestural with simplified structures and roughened bowls and stems. Numerals match the same brush texture and slant, with rounded shapes showing visible stroke overlap and wear-like chatter at edges.
