A slanted brush script with strong stroke contrast and a visibly dry, textured edge. Letterforms are compact and fast-moving, with tapered entries, heavy downstrokes, and occasional rough interior break-up that reads like ink skipping on toothy paper. Spacing is tight and rhythm-forward, with a lively baseline and slightly irregular stroke terminals that reinforce a hand-rendered feel.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the brush texture and slanted momentum can read clearly—such as posters, cover art, logo-like headings, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is raw and kinetic, conveying a streetwise, handmade attitude. Its rough brush texture adds grit and immediacy, making the voice feel spontaneous and emphatic rather than polished or formal.
Designed to emulate confident, fast brush lettering with deliberate imperfections, prioritizing impact and personality over neutrality. The texture and contrast appear intended to reproduce a dry-marker or brush-pen feel for expressive display typography.
Uppercase shapes behave like stylized script caps rather than traditional separate capitals, keeping the set cohesive for wordmarks. Numerals and lowercase share the same brush logic, so mixed alphanumeric lines maintain consistent texture and momentum.
