A rough, brush-ink display face with jagged, irregular contours and visibly textured fills. Strokes taper and thicken abruptly, with broken edges, dry-brush gaps, and occasional blotty terminals that create a worn, printed feel. Letterforms lean slightly and sit with an uneven baseline rhythm, while counters stay fairly open so the shapes remain legible despite the heavy texture. Overall spacing is lively and inconsistent in a deliberate way, emphasizing hand-drawn energy over typographic polish.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event graphics, album/cover art, packaging callouts, and merch where a distressed hand-painted look is desirable. It works well in short headlines, punchy slogans, and brand marks that need a rough, tactile voice; longer paragraphs may require generous size and spacing to keep the texture from overwhelming readability.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone—like hand-painted signage or a photocopied gig flyer. Its scratchy texture and restless rhythm suggest urgency, noise, and attitude, making it feel informal and expressive rather than refined.
Designed to mimic fast, pressure-variable brush lettering with deliberate wear and ink breakup, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over smooth, uniform outlines. The goal appears to be an authentic handmade texture that instantly signals grit and immediacy in themed display typography.
Uppercase shapes read as compact and forceful, while the lowercase adds a more scribbled, casual cadence; numerals match the same distressed brush treatment for cohesive titling. The texture becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the torn edges and speckling are a key part of the character.
