A condensed, slanted brush-script with high-contrast strokes and visibly textured edges. Letterforms are built from tapered, pressure-driven strokes that create sharp terminals, occasional wedge-like starts, and subtle ink-break roughness throughout. The rhythm is quick and slightly irregular, with varying stroke lengths and a lively baseline that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. Capitals are tall and narrow with simplified, open shapes; lowercase forms are compact with a short x-height and minimal joining, keeping words readable while preserving a sketchy, marker/brush feel. Numerals match the same narrow, calligraphic construction with uneven texture and tapered endings.
Best suited for short to medium display text where personality matters: posters, event promos, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and social media/thumbnail typography. It can also work for branding accents and pull quotes, especially when a gritty brush-script look is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes will help the texture and narrow forms stay clear.
The font conveys an informal, expressive tone—like fast brush lettering used for emphatic notes, promo copy, or handwritten headlines. Its distressed texture adds grit and immediacy, giving it a slightly rebellious, street-poster energy while still feeling approachable and personal.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with a deliberately rough, worn edge—capturing the spontaneity of hand lettering while maintaining a coherent, consistent style across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Texture is consistent across the set, suggesting intentional distress rather than random noise, and it remains visible even in heavier strokes. The narrow proportions and italic angle help create forward motion, while the high contrast and sharp terminals add punch. Spacing appears compact, supporting tight headline settings.
