A brisk, slanted handwritten print with a dry-brush texture and visible stroke tapering. Letterforms are compact and condensed with a quick, forward rhythm, mixing sharp angles with occasional rounded turns. Strokes show slight wobble and pressure variation, leaving irregular edges that read like marker or brush on paper. Spacing is tight and lively, and the overall drawing favors speed and gesture over geometric refinement.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. The textured strokes and tight, condensed shapes help it stand out in short phrases, logos, and punchy taglines, especially when set with generous line spacing.
The tone is informal and energetic, with a slightly gritty, streetwise feel created by the scratchy brush texture. It conveys motion and spontaneity—confident, punchy, and a bit rebellious—while still remaining readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of fast, brush-written lettering in a tidy, repeatable alphabet. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a natural, imperfect edge to add human character to contemporary display typography.
Capitals lean toward tall, narrow silhouettes and simplified structures, while lowercase keeps a compact profile with distinct, handwritten idiosyncrasies. Numerals match the same brisk, angled construction, maintaining a consistent texture and stroke behavior across the set.
