The phrase 'tener un carácter brusco' in Spanish translates into English as 'to have a brute character'. This refers to someone who is often frank, direct, or unyielding in nature, potentially to the point of rudeness or lack of tact. They might be blunt, straightforward and it sometimes may seem they lack courtesy or politeness. This phrase isn't describing a physical characteristic, instead it focuses on a persona or temperament.
