A handwritten display face with brush-pen construction and a dry, scratchy edge that creates small breaks and pointed terminals. Strokes show noticeable modulation from pressure and speed, with sharp wedges and occasional flicks at starts and finishes. Letterforms are slightly condensed with uneven widths and a lively, inconsistent baseline and cap-height feel, giving the set an intentionally rough rhythm. Counters are generally small and sometimes partially closed by textured stroke buildup, prioritizing gesture over precision.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and gesture are an advantage—posters, album or event graphics, packaging, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can work for pull quotes or short blurbs when set with generous size and spacing to keep the rough edges from filling in.
The font reads as raw and expressive, with a gritty, improvised character reminiscent of quick marker or brush lettering. Its spiky terminals and rough texture add tension and urgency, lending an edgy, DIY tone rather than a polished calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to capture fast, hand-drawn brush lettering with visible stroke grain and imperfect repetition, creating a bold, human presence. Its emphasis is on personality and impact rather than uniformity, aiming for a spontaneous, streetwise look in display typography.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest personality, with angular joins and dramatic stroke flicks that stand out in short headlines. Numerals follow the same rough-brushed logic and remain clear at display sizes, though the texture can visually thicken in dense text blocks.
