A slanted, brush-drawn print face with a dry, slightly broken stroke texture and crisp, tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and narrow with energetic, angular construction, showing visible pressure changes that create a modest thick–thin rhythm. Strokes often start with pointed entries and finish with quick flicks, giving the outlines a lively, irregular edge while keeping a consistent overall hand. The lowercase has a relatively small x-height and includes occasional long ascenders/descenders and looped forms that add vertical movement.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the brush texture and slanted rhythm can be appreciated—posters, product packaging, event promos, and bold pull quotes. It can also suit logo wordmarks and social media graphics, especially when a handmade, energetic feel is desired.
The font reads as quick, confident handwriting made with a brush pen or loaded marker—informal, punchy, and a bit gritty. Its textured stroke and brisk slant evoke a spontaneous, human tone suited to expressive messaging rather than polished formality.
Designed to mimic fast, brushed handwriting in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with expressive stroke texture and motion. The narrow proportions and pointed terminals appear intended to keep lines compact while still delivering a dynamic, handcrafted presence.
Spacing feels intentionally loose and variable like natural handwriting, with some letters taking more lateral room than others. The numerals share the same brush texture and forward motion, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive, hand-rendered look.
