A slanted, brush-pen style with dry-brush texture and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are narrow overall, with quick tapers, occasional ink breaks, and a slightly angular construction that keeps counters open while letting terminals fray or blunt naturally. Rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a deliberate way, with varied stroke pressure and small baseline/width irregularities that reinforce a hand-rendered feel.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where its texture and motion can be appreciated—posters, covers, branding accents, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also add personality to pull quotes or section headers, while long body copy may feel busy due to the rough edges and rapid stroke changes.
The font reads spontaneous and human, like fast marker lettering or a brush script adapted into separated print forms. Its roughness and speed cues add urgency and attitude, giving headlines a streetwise, sketchbook character rather than a polished calligraphic tone.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker lettering in a repeatable font, prioritizing gesture and texture over strict uniformity. The goal appears to be a lively, informal voice with enough structure to remain readable while still looking authentically drawn.
Uppercase shapes tend toward simplified, gestural structures, while the lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement (notably in tall ascenders and looped forms), creating a mixed-case texture that feels informal and expressive. Numerals match the same brisk, brushed construction, with some forms appearing intentionally sketchy at joins and curves.
