An expressive, brush-written print style with a strong rightward slant and visibly textured, dry-brush edges. Strokes are broad and dark with moderate contrast, showing tapered entries/exits and occasional ink breaks that create a rough, handmade perimeter. Letterforms are wide and loosely constructed, with variable stroke pressure and slightly irregular curves that keep the rhythm lively. Spacing and widths fluctuate by character, enhancing the informal, drawn-by-hand feel while remaining legible in running text.
Works best for short to medium headlines where the textured brush edge can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, album or playlist artwork, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also serve as a branding accent for casual or craft-oriented identities, but the rough stroke texture may overwhelm at very small sizes or in dense text blocks.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a street-poster immediacy and a slightly gritty, analog texture. It feels informal and human, like quick marker or brush lettering made for emphasis rather than polish.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident brush lettering in a repeatable font: wide, slanted forms with dry-brush texture and variable, humanized construction. The intent appears to prioritize impact and personality while keeping letterforms readable in display settings.
The texture and tapered terminals are prominent even at the glyph level, and the slanted posture helps words connect visually without true joining strokes. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with simplified shapes and lively, irregular counters that match the alphabet’s energy.
