A slanted, brush-pen style alphabet with visibly dry-brush texture and irregular edges that create a broken, ink-drag finish. Strokes show tapered terminals and occasional abrupt cutoffs, with a lively, uneven baseline and slightly inconsistent letter widths that reinforce the handwritten feel. Capitals are tall and angular with simplified, gestural construction, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and modest extenders. Numerals share the same brisk, sketchy rhythm and retain the same textured stroke behavior.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, short pull quotes, and bold packaging or branding moments that benefit from an expressive, hand-rendered voice. It can add character to album artwork, event promotions, and social graphics where texture and motion are more important than long-form readability.
The font reads as spontaneous and human, with a gritty, on-the-fly energy reminiscent of quick marker notes and rough signage. Its distressed brush texture adds urgency and attitude, balancing friendliness with a bit of edge.
Likely intended to capture the look of quick, real brush lettering—imperfect, textured, and dynamic—while remaining cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals for impactful display typography.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the texture and tapered joins can be appreciated; at smaller sizes the broken stroke edges and tight interior spaces may soften or fill in. The overall rhythm is fast and directional, with pronounced forward motion and minimal calligraphic ornament.
