A slanted, handwritten display style with rough, scratchy stroke edges and uneven ink deposition that creates a visibly distressed texture. Letterforms are built from quick, angular brush-pen gestures with tapered terminals and occasional blunt finishes, producing lively rhythm and fluctuating stroke thickness. Counters are often partially filled or irregular, and many strokes show overlapping passes and small hooks, giving the set an intentionally imperfect, hand-drawn consistency.
Best suited to short, impactful settings where the textured strokes can read as a stylistic feature—posters, album or playlist artwork, streetwear and skate graphics, event promos, game titles, and punchy headlines. It can also work as an accent face for quotes or callouts when paired with a clean sans for body text.
The font conveys a gritty, high-energy tone that feels improvised and expressive, like marker or dry-brush lettering used for urgent notes or street-inspired graphics. Its rough texture adds tension and attitude, leaning more edgy than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of fast, hand-lettered marks while embedding a worn, scuffed surface into each glyph. The goal is expressive legibility with a deliberately rough finish, prioritizing character and motion over typographic refinement.
In running text, the distressed outlines and internal abrasion remain prominent, creating a bold texture that can visually dominate a layout. The oblique angle and spiky joins heighten motion, while the irregular baselines and varied stroke endings reinforce the handmade character.
