A slanted, brush-written style with thick, tapered strokes and visibly uneven edges that suggest a dry marker or loaded brush. Letterforms are simplified and compact with rounded joins, occasional sharp terminals, and irregular stroke boundaries that create a natural, worn texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing an organic rhythm, while counters remain open enough for short phrases and display settings.
Works best for display typography where texture and motion are assets—posters, headlines, album/cover art, packaging accents, and energetic event promotions. It can also serve as a secondary voice for short callouts, labels, or pull quotes when you want a hand-made, gritty emphasis.
The overall tone feels informal and punchy, with a raw, street-level confidence. Its textured brush character adds urgency and movement, reading as expressive and slightly rough rather than polished or refined.
Designed to emulate fast, hand-painted lettering with deliberate roughness and variable stroke behavior, prioritizing personality and impact over pristine repetition. The intent appears to be an expressive brush look that immediately signals spontaneity and tactile texture in contemporary display applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent forward lean and brush pressure pattern, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive. Numerals carry the same painted texture and quick, gestural construction, matching the alphabet without looking like separate stylistic set pieces.
