A slanted, brush-like display face with chunky strokes, sharp corners, and irregular, calligraphic terminals. Letterforms show strong baseline bounce and inconsistent internal geometry, with wedge-like serifs and notches that create a carved, fractured silhouette. Counters tend to be small and angular, and many joins pinch or flare abruptly, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. Numerals follow the same cut-and-swipe construction, staying heavy and expressive rather than mechanical.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, event headlines, album or game titles, and expressive branding marks. It can also add a handcrafted accent to packaging, stickers, or social graphics where a loud, offbeat tone is desired. For readability, it benefits from generous tracking and moderate sizes rather than small text.
The font projects a playful, unruly attitude—part graffiti marker, part comic-book shout. Its restless stroke motion and quirky shapes feel comedic, slightly edgy, and intentionally imperfect, suggesting motion and personality over refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush lettering while exaggerating angles and breaks to create a distinctive, wacky texture. It prioritizes personality and impact, aiming for a one-off, decorative voice that feels spontaneous and slightly chaotic.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, which adds character but can create texture that feels dense in longer lines. The most successful settings are short and punchy, where the angular brush cuts read as intentional gestures rather than noise.
