A slanted, brush-script display face with sharp entry and exit strokes, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and visibly rough, broken edges. Strokes taper to pointed terminals and occasionally flare into wedge-like forms, creating an aggressive rhythm and strong directional flow. Counters are small and irregular, and letter widths vary noticeably, giving the line a lively, hand-rendered cadence. The lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height, while capitals feel more expansive and gestural; numerals follow the same jagged, ink-brushed construction.
Best suited to display applications where texture and motion are desirable—posters, event and music promotion, punchy headlines, packaging accents, and expressive wordmarks. It performs well when given room to breathe and when set at moderate-to-large sizes so the rough brush detail reads intentionally rather than as noise.
The overall tone is raw and forceful, suggesting speed, urgency, and a deliberately imperfect handmade mark. Its rough texture and sharp brush energy evoke a dramatic, gritty atmosphere that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering while preserving a cohesive alphabet for repeatable use. Its controlled slant, high contrast, and deliberately distressed contours aim to deliver a dynamic, gritty signature for branding and editorial display.
Texture is a primary feature: edges look scraped or dry-brushed, with intermittent breaks and uneven stroke boundaries that become more prominent at larger sizes. The steep slant and tight internal spaces can reduce clarity in dense settings, but they reinforce the expressive, poster-like character.
