An expressive brush-script design with a consistent rightward slant and high stroke contrast that suggests a pointed brush or fast marker work. Forms are compact and relatively narrow, with a short x-height and lively, variable stroke widths that create a quick handwritten rhythm. Edges show dry-brush texture and slight breakup, giving strokes a rough, ink-on-paper feel rather than clean vector smoothness. Letterforms are mostly semi-connected in flow but remain largely unjoined, keeping word shapes open and readable while preserving a spontaneous, gestural character.
Best suited for short to medium display text where texture and gesture can be appreciated—posters, branding marks, product packaging, event promos, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, while very small sizes may lose some of the brush texture and fine stroke detail.
The overall tone feels energetic and informal, like quick signage or hand-lettered packaging. The textured strokes add a gritty, analog personality that reads as authentic and slightly rugged rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the speed and personality of hand-painted or dry-brush lettering in a repeatable font, offering a lively, textured alternative to smooth scripts for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals are assertive and brushy with simplified, poster-like silhouettes, while lowercase retains a looser handwritten cadence; the contrast between thick downstrokes and thinner entry/exit strokes is especially noticeable in curved letters and numerals. Numerals follow the same brush logic with uneven terminals and subtle texture, helping them blend naturally into display settings.
