A heavy, brush-driven print face with a forward slant and energetic, uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from broad, slightly chiseled strokes that taper into pointed terminals, creating a mix of sharp corners and rounded bowls. Texture shows through in places as subtle irregularities and bite-like notches, while spacing and widths vary for a hand-made rhythm. The overall silhouette reads compact and vertical, with occasional exaggerated diagonals and spurs that add motion.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, display headlines, labels, and packaging where its brush texture and slanted energy can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers or event graphics that benefit from a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice; for longer passages, it will be more effective at larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The tone feels rustic and expressive, like hand-painted signage or brush lettering used for characterful headlines. Its angular flicks and inky weight give it a dramatic, slightly theatrical presence, suggesting a crafted, folkloric mood rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted, brush-cut letterforms in a consistent alphabet, prioritizing character and momentum over strict regularity. Its tapered terminals and textured edges aim to deliver a bold, artisanal look that reads quickly in display settings while retaining a distinctly hand-made feel.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, poster-like construction, while lowercase forms keep a more handwritten cadence with occasional idiosyncratic proportions. Numerals are similarly brush-formed with bold fills and tapered ends, maintaining the same lively texture and slanted momentum across the set.
