A slanted brush-script with compact proportions and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show clear pressure variation and a slightly broken, textured edge that mimics dry brush or worn ink, creating uneven fills and occasional rough interiors. Letterforms are simplified and streamlined, with open counters and abbreviated curves; joins are mostly disconnected rather than fully cursive, keeping characters distinct while still reading as script. Terminals tend to taper or flick, and overall spacing is tight, producing a fast, narrow silhouette.
Works well for short, high-impact text where a handmade, gritty script is desirable—such as posters, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and promotional headlines. The textured strokes and compact spacing also suit logos or badges at display sizes, while longer passages are best kept to larger sizes or limited lines to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is informal and expressive, like quick marker or brush lettering captured in motion. The roughened texture adds a worn, analog feel that reads as human, imperfect, and slightly rugged rather than polished or formal.
Designed to evoke fast brush handwriting with a deliberately worn, print-like texture. The aim appears to be delivering an energetic script voice that feels analog and imperfect, suitable for theme-driven branding and distressed display typography.
Uppercase forms are tall and gestural with prominent entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains a small core height with long ascenders/descenders that emphasize the handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same brisk, brushy construction and textured edges, staying consistent with the letterforms.
