Typeface classification: The typeface mixes a typical sans serif font, maybe Impact with a hand drawn lettering for the word "Path"
Description: The hoodie is from a New York Punk/Hardcore band akin to Rage Against the Machine in both lyrical content and overall sound, so the font seems fitting for an aggressive band with a raw sound.
How it enhances the message: The design speaks of the band itself; they have a really gritty sound and sing about a lot of political issues, so the typeface fits rather well with the aesthetic and sound of the band.
Influence: The band is a musical influence of mine, and looking at the type design, can be seen as a design influence as well. Had the design been more clean cut I feel like it wouldn't be true to the bands sound; maintaining the imperfect look of the letters helps establish an image of the band and keeps consistency when recognizing the typeface.
