A condensed, right-leaning brush script with punchy weight and visibly textured stroke edges. Letterforms show a dry-brush/inked marker feel: strokes have uneven fill, rough interiors, and occasional tapering that suggests pressure changes. The rhythm is quick and handwritten, with mostly unconnected characters and lively baseline movement. Counters are compact, terminals are rounded and slightly blunt, and overall proportions are tall with tight sidebearings, producing a dense, poster-like color.
Best suited for short-to-medium display copy where texture and personality are assets: posters, packaging labels, café/food branding, event promotions, and social media graphics. It can work for punchy pull quotes or titling, especially when you want a hand-painted feel that stands out at larger sizes.
The font communicates an informal, hand-painted attitude—confident and a bit rough around the edges. Its distressed texture adds a DIY, street-sign or notebook-marker character that reads as energetic and approachable rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic bold marker or brush lettering with intentional wear and ink breakup, creating a natural, lived-in texture. The condensed proportions and slanted stance appear aimed at delivering high-impact display typography while preserving an expressive, handwritten cadence.
Uppercase forms are narrow and upright-leaning with simplified construction, while lowercase stays compact and bouncy, reinforcing the fast handwritten voice. Numerals follow the same brush treatment and irregular texture, keeping the set visually consistent in mixed settings.
