A condensed, right-slanted sans with a monolinear skeleton and noticeably rough, dry-brush edges. Strokes keep a fairly even thickness while the outlines wobble subtly, creating a textured, hand-rendered rhythm. Counters are compact and often rounded-rectangular, with narrow apertures and tall proportions that emphasize verticality. Overall spacing feels tight and upright in structure despite the italic lean, giving lines a quick, scribbled momentum.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, and brand marks that benefit from a handmade, high-energy texture. It can also work well on packaging or editorial feature callouts where a condensed, expressive tone helps conserve space while staying attention-grabbing.
The font reads as informal and human, with an energetic, slightly gritty voice. Its narrow, leaning forms and rough edges suggest speed, spontaneity, and a DIY attitude rather than polish or restraint.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed italic sans structure with a deliberately imperfect, brush-like finish. It aims to deliver quick impact and personality—suggesting hand lettering—while remaining legible and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined, and the numerals match the same condensed, slanted construction for consistent color in text. The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, especially in repeated vertical strokes, where the dry-brush effect becomes more apparent.
