A slanted, brush-pen script with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show intentional texture and slight breakup, creating a dry-brush/inked feel rather than smooth outlines. Letterforms are narrow and compact with lively, variable stroke lengths, and a generally open, unconnected rhythm that reads more like quick hand lettering than formal cursive. Uppercase characters are bold and gestural with occasional looped or swashed entries, while numerals follow the same angled, handwritten construction.
Best suited to short display lines where its brush texture and angled motion can be appreciated—such as posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging labels, apparel graphics, and music or event promotions. It can work as a punchy accent alongside a clean sans or serif, but the textured strokes favor larger sizes and strong contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is energetic and human, with a gritty, slightly worn edge that suggests hand-made signage or ink-on-paper lettering. It feels informal and expressive, balancing a stylish script attitude with a roughened, tactile finish.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a deliberate rough-ink texture for added character. The goal appears to be an expressive script that reads as handmade and slightly weathered, ideal for bold, personality-driven headlines and branded phrases.
Texture appears embedded in the strokes (not just along the exterior edge), giving some letters a lightly scuffed interior and uneven ink density. Contrast and stroke tapering are consistent across the set, supporting cohesive display use where the brush character and slant are part of the message.
