A slanted, brush-pen style face with compressed proportions and lively, uneven stroke edges. Letterforms show visible texture and slight stroke breakup, with tapered entries and exits that mimic fast marker or dry-brush pressure. Counters are compact and sometimes partially filled by rough interior artifacts, while terminals stay soft and rounded rather than sharply cut. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving lines a bouncy rhythm and an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered consistency.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where texture and motion are an asset: posters, apparel graphics, music/entertainment artwork, packaging callouts, and social media headlines. It also suits themed projects needing a distressed handwritten feel, such as event promos or bold pull quotes, but is less suited to long-form reading or very small sizes due to the rough edges and compact counters.
The overall tone feels informal and immediate, like quick lettering made for impact rather than refinement. Its rough texture and assertive motion lend a gritty, street-poster attitude, while the brushy curves keep it friendly and approachable. The result reads as expressive and human, with a slightly rebellious edge.
This design appears intended to capture the speed and character of brush lettering while preserving a cohesive, repeatable alphabet. The controlled slant, compressed fit, and consistent dry-brush texture suggest a focus on punchy display use with an intentionally worn, handcrafted finish.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, handwritten logic rather than a strict typographic construction, and the figures follow the same brushy, textured treatment. The narrow build and tight counters can make dense settings feel busy, especially where interior texture closes up small spaces.
