A slanted brush-script display with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes show dry-brush breakup and occasional ink drag, producing ragged edges and small interior voids that give the letters a textured, distressed finish. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with lively, uneven rhythm; curves are swift and angular, and joins feel handwritten rather than constructed. Capitals are bold and gestural, while the lowercase is smaller and more delicate, with tall ascenders and compact bowls contributing to a tightly stacked silhouette.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event titles, album/track art, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want a handmade edge. It performs especially well in punchy headlines and logo-like wordmarks where the textured brush detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is bold and immediate, with a raw, hand-painted attitude that reads as spontaneous and high-energy. The distressed texture adds a gritty, urban edge, balancing expressive flair with a slightly rough, rebellious character.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately roughened ink surface, aiming for expressive impact and a contemporary, street-influenced feel. The narrow, compact forms and high-contrast strokes suggest a focus on dramatic, space-efficient display typography rather than extended reading.
The texture is consistent enough to feel intentional, but irregular enough to keep a natural brush feel across repeated strokes. The strongest impact comes from larger sizes where the dry-brush detail and pointed terminals remain clearly visible.
