A slanted, handwritten brush style with visibly dry-brush texture and irregular stroke edges. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, with lively, uneven rhythm and small variations in stroke width that feel ink-driven rather than geometric. Terminals are tapered and sometimes blunt, and the counters and joins show natural wobble, giving the alphabet an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered consistency. Numerals match the same brushy construction and keep a simple, legible silhouette.
Works well for posters, packaging labels, apparel graphics, and other headline-forward applications that benefit from a hand-made, gritty signature. It can also serve as an accent face in branding systems where an expressive, human contrast to cleaner type is needed.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a rugged, lived-in feel that suggests quick marker or brush lettering. Its textured finish adds a vintage, craft-forward character—more personal and expressive than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate fast, brush-written lettering with deliberate roughness, prioritizing personality and motion over pristine outlines. The intent appears to be a textured script-like companion for bold, character-driven display typography.
Letterforms maintain clear recognition even with the roughened outlines, but the textured edges and brisk slant make it most convincing at display sizes. The spacing and stroke grain create a strong “ink on paper” impression, especially in longer lines of text.
