Keywords: headlines, posters, packaging, album art, social media, handwritten, expressive, casual, gritty, energetic, hand-drawn feel, brush texture, informal tone, compact impact, brushy, textured, rough, slanted, condensed.
A slanted, brush-pen style script with tall, condensed proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show medium contrast with visible pressure changes and occasional tapering terminals, while edges appear slightly rough and dry-brushed, giving a worn, ink-on-paper texture. Letterforms are mostly unconnected with a handwriting-like variability in width and spacing; counters are small and the overall silhouette is vertical and compact.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, pull quotes, packaging callouts, and social media graphics where a handwritten, textured tone is desirable. It can also work for branding accents or titling when you want a personal, imperfect brush look rather than a clean script.
The font feels quick, informal, and human, with a slightly gritty finish that reads like a marker or brush dragged across textured paper. Its energy leans modern and street-adjacent rather than polished calligraphy, making it feel spontaneous and expressive.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn brush lettering while adding a slightly worn, distressed surface for character. The narrow, upright-leaning build supports compact, impactful lines of text with an expressive, human finish.
Uppercase forms are narrow and gestural, with simplified construction and occasional swashy strokes that add movement. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and a loosely drawn, imperfect consistency that reinforces the distressed texture.
