A slanted, brush-pen style Latin with thick, tapering strokes and visibly textured edges that suggest dry-brush drag and uneven ink pickup. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with lively baseline movement and irregular stroke terminals that keep the rhythm intentionally imperfect. Counters are generally open and simplified, while joins and curves show pressure changes that create a hand-drawn, marker-like contrast between thick bodies and thinner entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same quick, gestural construction, with rounded forms and occasional angular cuts at turns.
This face works best for short-to-medium display text where its brush texture and slanted energy can be appreciated—posters, event promos, product packaging, and punchy branding moments. It can also add a handmade accent to social graphics and editorial pull quotes, especially at sizes large enough to retain the rough edge detail.
The font reads as informal and tactile, with a gritty handmade finish that feels energetic and a bit rebellious. Its brushy texture and quick stroke logic give it an approachable, DIY character suited to contemporary, street-influenced aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic fast brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, textured imprint, balancing bold presence with a casual handwritten tone. It prioritizes personality and motion over strict geometric regularity, aiming to deliver an expressive, contemporary display voice.
Uppercase shapes lean toward bold, sign-like silhouettes, while lowercase forms feel more cursive and fluid, creating a mixed-case texture that’s expressive rather than strictly uniform. The distressed contouring is consistent across the set, making the worn/inked effect feel integral instead of incidental.
