A slanted brush-script style with compact proportions and lively, uneven stroke edges. Strokes show clear brush modulation, with thicker downstrokes and tapered terminals that occasionally break into dry, textured ends. Letterforms are generally connected in feel even when set as separate glyphs, with simplified counters and a rhythmic, forward-leaning cadence. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow, while the lowercase maintains a quick, handwritten structure with looped descenders and slightly irregular curves.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, apparel graphics, album/event promos, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for brand marks or campaign lockups where a handcrafted brush feel is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to its texture and dense shapes.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—like fast brush lettering made for impact rather than precision. Its roughened texture adds a gritty, handcrafted character that feels energetic and contemporary, with a hint of street-poster spontaneity.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with visible texture and natural imperfections, prioritizing personality and motion over geometric consistency. The overall construction suggests a display-first script intended to add a handmade, gritty edge to modern promotional typography.
Texture and edge irregularity are consistent across the set, producing a printed/inked look that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Spacing appears naturally tight and the forms are compact, so the face reads best when given room to breathe in line spacing and word spacing.
