A slanted, brush-like script with heavy strokes and pronounced, ragged edges that read as dry-brush or worn ink. Letterforms are built from quickly drawn, tapered strokes with sharp joins and occasional blunt terminals, producing strong contrast between thick swells and thinner connections. The rhythm is lively and uneven, with variable character widths and irregular counters that enhance the distressed texture while remaining broadly legible at display sizes.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, title cards, and branding moments that want a rough hand-made feel. It can work on packaging or labels when used at larger sizes and with sufficient contrast, but the distressed edges and tight x-height make it less ideal for dense body copy.
The overall tone feels raw and expressive, like hand-lettered signage or a fast marker/brush note that’s been weathered. Its rough texture and aggressive slant communicate urgency and attitude, leaning toward dramatic, cinematic, or underground aesthetics rather than polished refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic energetic brush lettering with a deliberately worn, imperfect print texture. Its goal is to deliver expressive motion and grit while keeping recognizable letterforms for quick reading in display contexts.
Uppercase forms are compact and punchy with simplified construction, while lowercase letters keep a cursive, handwritten flow and a noticeably small x-height, making ascenders and descenders more prominent in running text. Numerals share the same brush texture and slanted posture, with open shapes and uneven stroke endings that reinforce the handmade character.
