A compact, heavy display face with a hand-painted look and visibly rough, torn edges. Strokes feel brush-loaded and slightly uneven, with occasional tapering and small gaps or flecks that suggest dry ink or worn printing. Counters are generally small and irregular, and terminals are blunt rather than cleanly cut, producing a lively, tactile silhouette. Spacing appears somewhat loose and inconsistent by design, adding to the organic rhythm in words and lines.
Works best for short, high-impact copy where texture is part of the message—posters, album/cover art, merch and streetwear graphics, event promotions, and punchy headlines. It can also support small bursts of text (taglines or pull quotes) when set with generous tracking and line spacing to keep the rough edges from visually filling in.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, like quick sign lettering stamped with attitude. It reads as casual and rebellious rather than refined, balancing a fun, approachable voice with a distressed, streetwise edge. The texture gives it a handmade authenticity that feels immediate and expressive.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, handmade display voice with intentional wear and ink texture, evoking brush lettering and rough print artifacts. The goal appears to be immediacy and character over precision, with irregularity used to create personality and grit.
Uppercase forms are blocky and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase retains the same rough texture with simpler, sturdy shapes that hold up in short text samples. Numerals match the distressed texture and weight, keeping a cohesive, poster-ready feel across the set.
