A condensed, slanted brush style with tall proportions and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show strong pressure contrast, with pointed entries and tapered terminals that often finish in sharp flicks. Edges are intentionally rough and broken, creating a dry-brush texture and slightly uneven ink density across forms. Letter widths vary subtly, and counters tend to be tight, emphasizing a compact, vertical silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, editorial headlines, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and social media art where texture is desirable. It can work for subheads and short phrases, but the condensed proportions and rough edges make it less comfortable for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone feels fast, informal, and human, with a gritty edge that reads as tactile and analog rather than polished. Its energetic slant and scratchy texture give it a punchy, streetwise character that can feel both playful and urgent depending on setting.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of a marker or brush script while keeping a compact footprint for tight layouts. The distressed stroke texture appears intentional, aiming to add handcrafted imperfection and visual bite to display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the distressed texture becomes a prominent feature at larger sizes where the broken edges and stroke drag are most visible. The numeral set matches the same brush logic, with similarly tapered starts and roughened contours for a consistent voice.
