A heavy, forward-slanted display face with compact proportions and lively, uneven stroke endings. Letterforms are built from broad, brush-like shapes that taper and flare, with frequent notches, nicks, and torn-looking edges that create a rough printed or dry-brush texture. Curves are chunky and simplified, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is irregular in a controlled way, giving the set a hand-made feel while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines and short bursts of text on posters, flyers, and social graphics. It also fits music and nightlife branding, streetwear or skate-inspired identities, and packaging or labels where a rough, hand-rendered tone is desirable. For longer passages, it works more effectively as an accent style rather than continuous body copy.
The font conveys a gritty, kinetic attitude—part street poster, part hand-painted signage. Its rough edges and aggressive slant suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded, cartoonish massing keeps it approachable rather than threatening.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering translated into solid shapes, then deliberately roughened to introduce a worn, gritty edge. The goal is high impact with a handmade, imperfect surface that signals informality and energy.
Texture is carried consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with especially prominent ragged terminals on vertical strokes and diagonals. The irregular contour detail means it benefits from generous sizing and contrast against clean backgrounds, where the distressed silhouette can be clearly read.
