A bold, brush-driven script with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show textured edges and uneven ink deposition, creating a dry-brush look with occasional thickened terminals and slightly wobbling curves. Letterforms are mostly connected in running text, with lively rhythm and irregular stroke boundaries that read as intentionally rough rather than imprecise. Counters are relatively tight and forms are slightly condensed in feel, helping the heavy marks hold together as a dense, graphic voice.
Best suited for display applications where the texture can be appreciated—posters, cover art, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and short headline lines. It performs especially well when paired with clean supporting type, letting the rough brush script carry emphasis and personality.
The overall tone is raw and expressive, like fast marker or brush lettering used for impact. Its rough texture adds a worn, streetwise character that feels energetic and informal, leaning toward bold, assertive messaging rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-painted signature feel with deliberate distressing to suggest speed, grit, and physical media. It prioritizes expressive texture and impact in short-to-medium text over neutral readability in long passages.
The texture is prominent at both outer contours and some interior joins, so the darkest areas can merge at small sizes. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with simplified, high-contrast silhouettes and soft, inked ends that match the letterforms.
