A compact, slanted brush-print with thick, slightly tapering strokes and a dry-brush texture that leaves irregular edges and occasional open counters. The forms are narrow and quick, with simplified construction and a consistent forward lean. Curves are rounded but kept tight, while joins and terminals feel hand-cut rather than mechanically smooth, giving the alphabet a lively, human rhythm. Figures follow the same brisk, marker-like logic, reading clearly while retaining the handmade texture.
Best suited to short, punchy settings where texture and motion are an asset—posters, event graphics, product packaging, and bold social media headlines. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a handmade, energetic presence. For longer text, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing so the brush texture doesn’t crowd the letterforms.
The tone is informal and high-energy, like fast headline lettering made with a loaded brush pen or marker. Its momentum and textured finish suggest spontaneity, confidence, and a streetwise, sporty attitude rather than refinement or formality.
Designed to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with a forward-driving slant and visible stroke texture. The aim is impact and personality—capturing the feel of hand-drawn display type while staying legible and cohesive across a full basic set.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way that reinforces the handwritten character, and the texture becomes a defining feature at larger sizes. The overall palette stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with occasional shape irregularities that read as intentional gesture rather than error.
