A condensed, right-leaning brush script with pronounced, dry-brush texture and irregular edges. Strokes show visible drag and broken ink, with rounded terminals and occasional spiky flicks that suggest quick marker or brush-pen movement. Letterforms are largely monoline in feel but fluctuate subtly in thickness due to pressure and texture, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Spacing is compact and the overall silhouette stays tall and narrow, while curves and joins remain loose and slightly roughened.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are assets: posters, event promos, album or podcast artwork, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for short brand phrases or social graphics that benefit from a handmade, gritty voice; for longer text, the strong texture and condensed rhythm are more likely to feel dense.
The font conveys a raw, street-level confidence—informal, energetic, and intentionally imperfect. Its scratchy ink texture and fast gestures create a punchy, human tone that feels expressive and a bit rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic a fast, brush-pen or dry-marker hand with deliberate wear and ink breakup, delivering an expressive, tactile look. The narrow, slanted forms and high-energy rhythm prioritize impact and personality over neutrality and long-form comfort.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-drawn construction, with simplified shapes and minimal ornamentation beyond the brush artifacts. Numerals follow the same quick, textured logic and read as hand-written rather than geometric. The distressed texture is strong enough to become a key visual element, especially at larger sizes.
