A condensed, forward-slanted handwritten style with a brush-pen feel and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are tall and wiry, with variable stroke thickness and occasional tapering terminals that suggest fast, pressure-driven writing. Curves and joins are slightly unstable in a purposeful way, creating a lively rhythm and a lightly weathered, ink-on-paper texture across both caps and lowercase. Counters stay fairly open, while verticals dominate the overall silhouette for a lean, energetic color in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, punchy headlines, album/cover art, apparel graphics, and expressive packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or brief brand taglines when a raw, hand-rendered look is desired.
The font reads as spontaneous and human, with a gritty, street-level confidence. Its roughened strokes and quick, italic motion convey urgency and personality, lending an edgy, informal tone rather than polished refinement.
Designed to emulate fast brush handwriting with intentional roughness, prioritizing energy and authenticity over geometric consistency. The condensed proportions and slanted stance aim to maximize impact and motion in display-sized typography.
Capitals are assertive and narrow, while the lowercase keeps a simple handwritten construction with minimal ornament. Numerals follow the same brisk, hand-drawn logic, with uneven stroke endings that reinforce the distressed, analog character.
