A slanted, brush-driven letterform with heavy strokes and visibly rough, broken edges. Shapes are compact and slightly condensed, with a lively baseline and uneven stroke terminals that suggest dry ink or worn printing. Counters are relatively small and irregular, and many joins show blunt, chiseled connections rather than smooth curves. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent forward lean and a bold, compressed rhythm that reads as emphatic and handmade.
Best suited to display applications where texture and forceful rhythm are assets: posters, event and music promotions, product labels, and bold editorial headings. It can also work for short, high-impact callouts in branding systems that want a rougher, more analog voice, rather than for long-form reading.
The font conveys a gritty, street-level confidence with a fast, improvised feel. Its texture adds tension and impact, giving headlines an assertive, slightly rebellious tone. Overall it feels energetic and human rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering or heavily inked signage, then pushed through a distressed process to introduce grit and irregularity. It prioritizes impact, speed, and tactile texture, aiming to add immediacy and attitude to large-format text.
The distressed texture is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive “printed-then-worn” impression. The italic angle is strong enough to add motion, while the sturdy stroke mass keeps the forms legible at display sizes; at smaller sizes, the interior roughness and tight counters may visually fill in.
