A wiry, handwritten face with quick, angular construction and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes feel pen-and-brush like, with tapered entries/exits and small pressure-driven swell points, producing a lively, uneven texture. Letterforms are compact and upright in their internal structure but lean in motion, with narrow counters and tight apertures that keep the overall color light and linear. Baselines and stroke edges show purposeful irregularity—slight wobble, rough terminals, and occasional kinked joins—creating a distressed, sketched rhythm rather than polished calligraphy.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desired: poster headlines, music or event graphics, gritty title cards, and expressive packaging accents. It can also work for short UI labels in themed applications (e.g., games or spooky/rough aesthetics) when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is tense and energetic, like fast marker notes or a hurried signature—personal, informal, and slightly abrasive. Its scratchy movement reads as rebellious and raw, lending a dramatic, human edge that can feel grungy or ominous depending on context.
Likely intended to capture a raw, hand-rendered voice—fast, imperfect, and energetic—while maintaining enough consistency across the alphabet for repeatable branding and punchy display typography.
Capitals are tall and gestural with pronounced diagonals, while lowercase forms stay small and quick, reinforcing a strong cap-to-x-height contrast. Numerals match the same hand-drawn logic with simplified shapes and angled strokes, keeping the set visually cohesive in short bursts.
