A condensed, forward-leaning display face with a brush-script sensibility translated into separated, non-connecting letters. Strokes read as firm and mostly even in thickness, with frequent tapered terminals and cut-in angles that create a crisp, poster-like silhouette. Curves are narrow and upright within the slant, giving counters a pinched, elongated feel, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes add rhythmic momentum. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, and the lowercase is small relative to capitals, producing a headline-driven hierarchy. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted construction with simplified, speedy curves.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short display lines where its condensed slant can create urgency and style. It also works well for logos, packaging callouts, and signage that aims for a vintage, hand-lettered look. For longer text, use larger sizes and add letterspacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is lively and mid-century in spirit—suggesting nightclub signage, beat-era book covers, and vintage advertising. Its sharp, fast brush cues bring a sense of motion and personality, landing between casual and theatrical rather than formal or technical.
The letterforms appear designed to capture the speed and flair of brush lettering while keeping the clarity of individual, unconnected characters. The narrow proportions and assertive slant prioritize impact and forward motion, targeting expressive display typography rather than neutral reading text.
The design relies on distinctive terminal shapes and slanted stress to maintain cohesion across glyphs, and it stays most convincing when set with generous tracking and in short bursts. The compact lowercase and tight internal spacing can make long passages feel busy, especially at small sizes.
