A heavily textured, brushy display face with jagged, irregular contours and visibly distressed interiors. Strokes appear dry-brushed and uneven, producing torn edges, occasional voids, and splattery terminals that vary from glyph to glyph. The letterforms keep a generally upright stance but with loose, handmade construction, variable stroke mass, and inconsistent widths that create a lively, chaotic rhythm. Counters are often partially occluded by texture, and round shapes read more as rough ovals than clean circles.
Best suited to large-format display work where the distressed detailing can be seen clearly—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and music or event branding. It also works well for short headlines, badges, and logotype-style wordmarks that want a rough, tactile, hand-painted impression.
The overall tone is aggressive and gritty, suggesting DIY printmaking, worn ink, and underground poster aesthetics. It carries a dark, intense energy that can read as ominous or confrontational, with a spontaneous, improvised feel rather than polished typography.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed brush lettering or degraded ink printing, prioritizing texture, urgency, and attitude over clean readability. Its irregular rhythm and broken edges are geared toward expressive, high-impact messaging in themed or dramatic contexts.
Texture is strong enough to become part of the structure, so small sizes and tight spacing can cause details to fill in and reduce clarity. The distressed edge behavior is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive despite the intentionally uneven drawing.
