A slanted, brush-pen style face with tall, condensed proportions and lively, variable strokes. Forms are built from quick, tapered marks with visible texture and slightly roughened edges, creating a dry-brush, ink-on-paper feel. Counters stay relatively open despite the narrow width, and terminals often finish in sharp flicks or soft tapers, giving the alphabet a fast, handwritten rhythm that remains broadly consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font suits short, attention-grabbing text where a personal, brushy texture is an asset—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, display headings, and quote layouts. It’s best used at larger sizes where the dry-brush texture and tapered strokes can remain clear.
The overall tone feels informal and expressive, with a spirited, handmade character. Its textured stroke edges and brisk italic motion suggest spontaneity and personality—more like a marker or brush note than a polished corporate script.
The design appears intended to capture an energetic brush handwriting look with a narrow footprint and high visual contrast, delivering a distinctive distressed texture for expressive display typography.
Caps read more like upright brush caps than a connected script, while lowercase carries a more cursive, note-taking flow. Numerals match the same drawn texture and tapering, keeping a cohesive, handcrafted look in mixed text.
