A condensed, hand-rendered sans with tall proportions and visibly rough, dry-brush edges. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and intermittent texture, as if from uneven inking or worn printing. Curves are slightly lumpy and corners are softened, with small irregular notches and gaps that create a distressed silhouette. Overall spacing feels lively and inconsistent in a natural way, giving text a rhythmic, handcrafted color while remaining broadly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the rough texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event promos, packaging, and apparel graphics. It also works well for thematic branding that wants a handmade or weathered feel, but the distressed detailing may diminish clarity in small sizes or long passages.
The texture and uneven stroke behavior convey an informal, human tone—part poster-paint, part stamped-and-worn. It reads energetic and approachable, with a slightly rugged, street/DIY character that suggests tactility and motion rather than precision.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-painted or dry-brushed lettering with a deliberately worn print texture, delivering a condensed display voice that feels crafted and imperfect. The goal is impact and atmosphere rather than typographic neutrality, using surface irregularity and contrast to add character.
Uppercase forms stay fairly simple and geometric in construction, while the surface distress and stroke tapering add personality. Numerals match the same brushy wear, and punctuation retains the roughened edges, helping the texture remain consistent across settings.
