A slanted brush-script with tall, tightly set letterforms and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast, with pointed terminals and occasional hook-like entries and exits that mimic a quick, ink-loaded brush. Edges are intentionally rough and slightly broken, creating a textured silhouette while keeping the overall forms legible. Uppercase characters read like simplified script caps with looping swashes on select letters, while the lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same narrow, calligraphic construction.
Well-suited to short display lines where the textured brush character can be appreciated—posters, social graphics, packaging accents, apparel graphics, and music or event promotion. It works best for titles, logos, and punchy phrases rather than extended small-size text.
The font conveys an energetic, personal tone—somewhere between modern brush lettering and a slightly worn marker or ink imprint. Its texture adds a gritty, tactile feel, giving headlines a sense of motion and attitude rather than polish or formality.
Designed to emulate fast, expressive brush lettering with a deliberately rough finish, combining contemporary script energy with a worn, printed texture. The condensed structure and dramatic contrast appear intended to maximize impact in compact headline spaces.
The narrow proportions and high contrast create strong vertical momentum, and the distressed edges become more apparent at larger sizes. Spacing appears tight by nature of the condensed forms, which can help create dense, punchy word shapes in display settings.
