A slanted, brush-driven sans with heavy strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are compact and rounded with soft corners, while the stroke texture shows small chips and ink-like breaks that suggest dry-brush or rough printing. Proportions vary noticeably across characters, with slightly irregular curves and terminals that keep the rhythm lively rather than strictly geometric. Numerals and caps carry the same thick, tapered feel, maintaining strong presence in short lines and display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where texture and attitude are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and event or music promotions. It can also work for short brand taglines or social graphics, but the rough edges and heavy weight make it less suitable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels bold and informal, like quick hand-painted signage or a worn poster. The roughened texture adds grit and motion, giving the face a spirited, streetwise personality without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to evoke a bold brush-marker or painted look with deliberate wear and printing artifacts, combining strong readability with a gritty, hand-made finish.
Counters remain fairly open for a distressed style, helping words hold together despite the rugged texture. The italic angle and broad strokes create strong forward momentum, especially in all-caps or punchy headline settings.
