A slanted, hand-drawn brush style with visibly dry, textured strokes and irregular edges. Letterforms show natural variation in stroke width and pressure, with slightly condensed proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm across the line. Terminals are frequently tapered or blunt, and counters can look partially filled or frayed, reinforcing the painted/inked feel. Spacing is moderately tight and the baseline has a subtle, human wobble that reads as intentionally imperfect.
Well suited to posters, cover art, and bold headline treatments where the brush texture can read clearly. It can also support packaging, event promo, and social media graphics that want an informal, hand-painted vibe. For best results, give it enough size and contrast so the distressed edges remain intentional rather than noisy.
The overall tone is raw and street-level, like quick marker or brush lettering pulled from a sketchbook or poster wall. Its rough texture and energetic slant give it urgency and attitude, balancing friendliness with a slightly rebellious, DIY character.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast brush lettering with visible ink texture and imperfect contours. The intent appears to be an expressive display face that brings personality and grit to short, attention-grabbing text.
The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, especially in larger sizes where the broken edges and ink drag are clearly visible. In longer passages the irregularity adds character but can become busy, making it best when the message can lean into the handmade look.
