A heavy, forward-slanted display face with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are thick and rounded with softened corners, creating a slightly inflated, brushlike silhouette. The texture is consistently distressed: edges show irregular wear and the interiors exhibit speckling and rough fill, as if from dry ink or rough screen printing. Letterforms are simplified and energetic, with uneven inking that adds motion and a tactile, handmade print feel across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to large-size use where the rough inking can be appreciated—posters, event titles, sports or action-themed branding, and bold logotypes. It also fits apparel graphics and merch where a worn print aesthetic is desired, and it can work for short punchy copy lines when set with generous spacing.
The font projects speed and impact with a gritty, street-printed attitude. Its slant and chunky forms read as sporty and headline-driven, while the distressed texture adds a worn, vintage edge that feels rugged and informal.
Designed to deliver high-impact, slanted display typography with a deliberately worn print texture. The goal appears to be a fast, aggressive rhythm paired with distressed edges and speckled ink artifacts to evoke rugged, retro-graphic production.
The distress is strong enough to become part of the letter identity, especially in dense text blocks, where the mottled fill creates a dark, textured color. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-rendered rhythm rather than a strictly modular system.
