A slanted, brush-pen style design with high-contrast strokes that shift from hairline exits to broader downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and tall with a noticeably low x-height, creating strong ascender/descender emphasis and a quick, vertical rhythm. Strokes show irregular, dry-brush texture and slightly ragged edges, giving counters and terminals a worn, ink-on-paper feel. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, hand-drawn construction while maintaining a consistent rightward flow.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and branding marks where texture and motion are desirable. It also works well for social graphics, invitations, and quotes when used at moderate-to-large sizes so the rough stroke detail remains clear.
The font conveys an energetic, handcrafted tone with a touch of grit—like expressive signage or a personal note written with a brush that’s starting to run dry. Its narrow, upright energy and textured finish add drama and immediacy, balancing elegance with a deliberately imperfect, human presence.
Likely designed to mimic fast brush lettering with visible ink texture, delivering an expressive italic flow and a distressed, tactile finish. The narrow proportions and strong contrast appear intended to create impactful display typography while preserving an authentic handwritten character.
Uppercase forms feel gestural and simplified, while lowercase brings more cursive movement; together they create a mixed, handwritten system rather than a rigid typographic one. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with lively curves and textured joins that read well at display sizes.
