A slanted, brush-pen style with narrow proportions and uneven, organic stroke edges. Letterforms show noticeable texture and slight wobble, with tapered starts/finishes and occasional blobbed terminals that suggest dry-brush drag or rough ink. Curves are compact and upright-to-forward-leaning, while spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm. The lowercase is simple and legible with a relatively low x-height, and the figures follow the same brisk, handwritten construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium headlines, posters, and display copy where a handmade, gritty voice is desired. It can also work for packaging callouts, event promotions, and social media graphics that benefit from an energetic, imperfect brush look; use larger sizes to let the texture read cleanly.
The font conveys an informal, lived-in tone—more sketchbook and marker-note than polished signage. Its roughened edges and quick strokes create a sense of motion and immediacy, reading as approachable, slightly rebellious, and deliberately unrefined.
The design appears intended to capture fast brush lettering with natural pressure changes and worn ink texture, prioritizing personality and momentum over geometric precision. Its condensed, slanted forms and rough edges aim to deliver a bold, handcrafted presence that feels spontaneous and authentic.
Texture is consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, giving solid color at larger sizes while breaking into visible grain at smaller sizes. The irregular terminals and varying stroke pressure create a lively baseline and a natural, human cadence in running text.
