A tall, right-leaning handwritten style with a brush-pen feel and a narrow, elongated silhouette. Strokes show medium modulation with tapered entries and exits, plus intermittent dry-brush breakup that creates rough edges and occasional interior texture. Letterforms are loosely constructed and slightly irregular, with simplified counters and a lively baseline rhythm; spacing feels organic rather than mechanically even. Uppercase reads as gestural caps, while lowercase is minimal and compact with short bodies and long, whiplike ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same quick, written energy.
Best suited to display use where its tall, gestural forms and rough brush texture can read at a glance—posters, event flyers, album or playlist artwork, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for short quotes or social graphics, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is energetic and slightly gritty, like fast marker lettering on a poster or notebook—confident, informal, and a bit rebellious. The distressed stroke texture adds a worn, street-level attitude that keeps it from feeling polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush handwriting with a deliberately imperfect, worn stroke, prioritizing momentum and attitude over formal refinement. Its narrow, vertical proportions and textured marks suggest a font built to add urgency and personality to modern display typography.
The texture is strongest in heavier downstrokes and curved joins, where the brush appears to skip or feather. Many terminals finish in sharp, angled flicks, and the set favors speed and personality over strict consistency, which helps it feel authentically hand-made.
