A tall, tightly set handwritten print with a pronounced rightward slant and very condensed proportions. Strokes feel brush-driven, with medium contrast and frequent dry-brush texture that creates rough edges, ink breaks, and slightly uneven stroke widths. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, with narrow counters and a lively, irregular rhythm; caps and ascenders are especially elongated, giving the face a vertical, wiry silhouette. The overall color is dark and assertive, with small variations in pressure and taper that keep repeated forms from looking mechanical.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as posters, promo graphics, event flyers, and bold pull quotes where the brush texture can be appreciated. It can add personality to branding, packaging, and editorial headings, especially in energetic or alternative contexts. For body copy, it’s more effective in brief bursts rather than sustained reading.
The font conveys an informal, impulsive tone—like quick marker or brush lettering made for emphasis. Its narrow, scratchy texture adds grit and urgency, leaning toward an alternative, street-poster attitude rather than polished stationery. The slant and spiky terminals make it feel energetic and slightly rebellious.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, expressive brush handwriting while staying compact and punchy. Its condensed build and textured stroke treatment prioritize personality and impact over neutrality, aiming to deliver a handmade, high-energy voice in display typography.
Digit forms follow the same tall, narrow construction, maintaining the condensed pacing in mixed text. Spacing appears intentionally uneven and organic, which enhances the handmade feel but can make long passages look busy at small sizes. The textured edges and tight internal spaces suggest it will read best when given a bit of size and breathing room.
