An expressive, brush-driven script with highly variable stroke widths and frequent teardrop terminals, producing a bold–thin rhythm that shifts within and between letters. Forms are loosely cursive with a right-leaning, italicized flow, but many capitals behave like standalone calligraphic marks with asymmetric lobes and occasional spur-like protrusions. Counters are often pinched or nearly closed, and joins are inconsistent in length and pressure, reinforcing a hand-rendered, gestural texture. Overall proportions are compact in the lowercase with a notably short x-height, contrasted by taller ascenders and descenders that add vertical drama.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture and motion are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging accents, album artwork, and event promotions. Because counters tend to close and stroke contrast is extreme, it will read more reliably at larger sizes than in long passages or small UI copy.
The font feels energetic and theatrical, like wet ink laid down quickly with a flexible brush. Its irregularity reads as human and performative, balancing elegance with a slightly untamed edge that suggests spontaneity and attitude.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with a deliberately irregular rhythm and ink-heavy shapes. The emphasis appears to be on expressive silhouettes and personality over strict consistency or continuous cursive connectivity.
Spacing and silhouette vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, uneven color in text lines. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with sharp tapers and intermittent blobbed terminals, making them more decorative than utilitarian.
