A slanted brush-script with quick, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin contrast that suggests a pointed brush or marker. Letterforms are compact and fast, with uneven pressure and broken edges that create a dry-brush texture and scattered ink build-up. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with simplified joins and open counters that keep the forms readable while retaining a hand-drawn spontaneity.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings where texture and motion are an asset—posters, headlines, cover art, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics. It can also work for event promos or social graphics where a handmade, gritty accent is desired, while longer passages may feel busy due to the rough stroke texture.
The overall tone is informal and high-energy, leaning toward gritty, urban, and handcrafted rather than polished calligraphy. Its rough texture and brisk motion convey immediacy, attitude, and a poster-like punch.
Likely designed to deliver a bold handwritten brush feel with intentional wear and ink breakup, combining expressive script movement with a distressed surface for impact in display typography.
Texture is a defining feature: many strokes show streaking, rough terminals, and occasional speckling that reads like worn printing or dry ink. Uppercase forms are bold and gestural, while lowercase maintains a sketchy, note-like flow; figures share the same brushy contrast and slightly varied stroke endings for a cohesive set.
