A heavy, hand-painted sans with dense, rounded forms and strongly irregular edges, as if made with a loaded brush or marker on textured paper. Strokes show frequent ragged bite marks, uneven terminals, and occasional interior nicks that create a worn print feel. Counters are generally small and sometimes partially closed, emphasizing mass over clarity, while overall letter shapes stay simple and upright with a casual, bouncy baseline rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing the handmade, non-mechanical texture.
Well-suited for bold headlines on posters, flyers, and social graphics where impact and texture matter more than crisp detail. It also fits music and nightlife branding, album/playlist artwork, skate and streetwear applications, and punchy packaging callouts. Use it for short phrases, titles, and badges where the distressed brush character can carry the design.
The font conveys a loud, scrappy energy—informal, rebellious, and a bit messy in a deliberate way. Its inky blobs and torn-looking contours suggest DIY culture, punk/garage attitude, and playful, cheeky messaging rather than refinement. The tone feels immediate and expressive, like quick poster lettering or graffiti-inspired brush work.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush lettering and worn ink impressions, prioritizing attitude, texture, and immediacy over polished geometry. The set aims to provide a consistent, heavy display voice with enough irregularity to feel hand-made and gritty across both uppercase and lowercase.
In longer text, the dark color and tight counters build a strong texture, so it reads best at larger sizes where the distressed edges and brush drag can be appreciated. Numerals follow the same chunky, irregular construction, keeping the set visually consistent for display-heavy compositions.
