A condensed, right-slanted handwritten script with a dry-brush texture and irregular stroke edges. Strokes show noticeable pressure variation and occasional tapered terminals, producing a sharp, slightly scratchy finish rather than smooth calligraphic curves. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with uneven widths and lively rhythm; counters stay small and forms often open up where the brush thins. Uppercase has simplified, monoline-like silhouettes with brush modulation, while lowercase mixes quick loops and pointed joins that keep the overall color light but energetic.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where texture and motion are desirable: posters, cover art, product labels, and social media headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a handwritten punch, but the narrow, brushy details favor larger sizes and restrained line lengths.
The font conveys an informal, spontaneous tone with a gritty, urban edge. Its roughened brush texture reads as human and immediate—more like a quick marker or dry-brush note than polished lettering—adding tension and attitude to short phrases.
Likely designed to mimic fast, pressure-driven brush handwriting with intentionally imperfect edges and variable stroke density. The goal appears to be an expressive, contemporary script that prioritizes character and texture over uniformity, delivering a raw, distressed handwritten look in display contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally inconsistent, contributing to a hand-made cadence in both all-caps and mixed-case settings. The numerals follow the same brisk, narrow construction with angular bends and tapered ends, keeping a cohesive written feel across text and display use.
