A condensed, brush-pen style with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, variable stroke edges. Letterforms are built from fast, tapered strokes that leave slight roughness and ink drag, creating a textured silhouette rather than crisp outlines. Proportions run tall and narrow, with tight internal spaces and compact counters; curves are simplified and often slightly angular, and terminals frequently finish in sharp flicks or blunt stops. Spacing appears uneven in a natural way, reinforcing the hand-drawn rhythm while keeping the alphabet visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for punchy headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where a handmade, high-energy voice is desired. It can add personality to packaging, labels, and social media titles, and suits music or event branding that benefits from a rough brush texture. Use with generous size and breathing room to maintain legibility and let the texture read cleanly.
The overall tone feels spontaneous and human, like quick marker lettering made for impact. Its compressed, forward-leaning motion reads confident and slightly aggressive, giving it a street-poster or notebook-headline energy. The texture adds a gritty, authentic feel that avoids polish and leans into immediacy.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush-marker lettering in a compact footprint, balancing expressive stroke texture with a readable printed structure. The intent appears to be bold emphasis and personality for short text, delivering motion and attitude without relying on connected script forms.
Uppercase forms carry strong vertical emphasis and open, gestural construction, while lowercase retains a simplified printed feel rather than connected cursive. Numerals share the same brisk brush character and slant, helping mixed text stay cohesive. The font’s narrow build and active stroke texture make it more suited to display sizes than long passages.
