A heavy, slanted display face with chunky, rounded forms and strongly sculpted strokes. Letterforms show brush-like construction with uneven pressure, creating sharp notches, occasional pinched joins, and subtly irregular counters. Edges and interiors carry a worn, ink-pressed texture that breaks up the silhouette without fully destroying legibility. Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with slightly inconsistent widths that enhance the hand-made rhythm.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, music and nightlife promotion, bold social graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, tactile voice. It can also work for logotypes or badges where a distressed, hand-printed feel is desirable, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the texture reads clearly.
The font reads loud and informal, with a gritty, DIY attitude. Its textured weight and forward slant give it motion and impact, while the rounded shapes keep the tone playful rather than aggressive. The overall impression suggests vintage print, rough signage, and street-level energy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a brush-driven, imperfect print texture—capturing the look of worn ink and rough reproduction while keeping a friendly, readable structure for display typography.
In the sample text, the texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes where the speckling and roughened edges act like built-in distress. The numerals share the same chunky, inked character, supporting cohesive headline use across letters and numbers.
