A slanted, brush-pen script with compact proportions and a tight, upright rhythm. Strokes show a dry-brush texture with visibly uneven edges and occasional thinning, creating a lightly distressed, hand-rendered feel. Letterforms mix quick, angular joins with rounded bowls, and many strokes end in pointed, tapered terminals. Capitals are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms stay small and streamlined, keeping word shapes narrow and fast-moving.
Works well for short to medium-length display settings such as posters, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, event titles, and social media headlines. It can also suit badges, menu highlights, and promotional copy where a handmade, slightly rough signature style is desirable; for best clarity, keep sizes comfortably large due to the dry-brush breaks and compact forms.
The overall tone is informal and kinetic, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or spontaneous headlines. The roughened stroke edges add a gritty, handmade character that feels outdoorsy and craft-oriented rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast brush lettering with natural texture and imperfections, offering a lively script voice that feels personal and tactile. The narrow, continuous rhythm suggests an emphasis on punchy display readability while preserving an expressive, handcrafted surface.
Texture is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, with enough irregularity to read as authentic brush friction rather than random noise. Spacing appears tight and the slant is steady, helping lines of text maintain momentum even when the strokes break or dry out.
