A heavy, slanted brush-script style with compact proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes show pronounced pressure changes, with thick bodies and tapered entries/exits, plus rounded terminals and occasional hooked forms. The outline is intentionally uneven, with speckled/rough interior texture that mimics dry-brush ink and worn printing. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent handwritten rhythm, and the figures are similarly bold and brush-formed, maintaining an informal, hand-painted feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, event promos, apparel graphics, stickers, product packaging, and bold logo lockups. It also works well for social media headlines and cover art where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated at display sizes.
The font projects a bold, gritty confidence—like quick marker lettering on posters or packaging. Its rough texture and energetic slant add motion and attitude, reading as casual, urban, and craft-forward rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture bold brush lettering with a deliberately worn, ink-dry texture—prioritizing personality and punch over pristine regularity. It aims to feel hand-made and expressive, providing an instant gritty, energetic tone for display typography.
Texture is a major part of the visual identity: solid black shapes are broken up by small voids and scuffs, which will become more prominent at larger sizes and on absorbent-looking backgrounds. Curves are soft and rounded overall, while joins and stroke endings retain a lively, improvised feel that reinforces the handmade character.
