A slanted, brush-like display face with chunky strokes and pointed terminals. Letterforms lean forward with irregular, slightly bouncy rhythm and noticeable shape variation from glyph to glyph, creating a deliberately uneven texture. Counters are often tight and asymmetrical, and joins tend to pinch into sharp corners, giving many characters a cut, flicked look. The overall silhouette favors dynamic diagonals and wedge-like endings over smooth curves, producing a lively, sketchy presence in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event titles, brand marks, packaging accents, and comic or entertainment graphics where personality matters more than neutrality. It works well for short bursts of text—titles, pull quotes, and labels—especially when you want a hand-made, kinetic feel.
The tone is mischievous and high-spirited, with a cartoonish confidence that feels improvised rather than formal. Its jagged brush energy and exaggerated slant suggest motion and attitude, lending a lightly rebellious, tongue-in-cheek character to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, emphatic brush lettering while pushing forms into a more stylized, intentionally irregular direction. Its goal is expressive impact and a memorable texture, prioritizing motion, attitude, and novelty over continuous-text consistency.
Capitals are relatively prominent and expressive, while the lowercase maintains a compact, quick-written feel. Numerals follow the same angled, brushy construction and read best at larger sizes where the sharp terminals and uneven stroke edges can be appreciated.
