A slanted, brush-script style with visibly dry, textured strokes that create broken edges and occasional ink-buildup blobs. Letterforms are compressed with a tight, upright rhythm, and strokes show sharp tapers into pointed terminals alongside thicker mid-stroke pressure. Curves are slightly irregular and organic, with a lively baseline and varied joining behavior between letters; counters are small and sometimes partly closed by the brush texture. Uppercase and lowercase share the same hand-drawn, calligraphic construction, while numerals follow the same brushy, tapered logic and remain compact and slightly uneven in weight distribution.
Works best in short to medium-length display settings where the brush texture can be appreciated—posters, editorial headlines, product packaging, and expressive branding. It can also suit album or event graphics and social media titles where an energetic, handcrafted feel is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels personal and impulsive, like quickly painted lettering on paper or packaging. Its rough texture adds a worn, gritty character that reads as authentic and unpolished rather than pristine or formal. The narrow, fast-script movement gives it a confident, energetic voice suited to bold, attention-seeking messaging.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted script while preserving a consistent, repeatable alphabet for display typography. The distressed brush texture and compact, slanted forms aim to add personality and impact, evoking fast, human-made lettering rather than polished calligraphy.
Texture is a defining feature: many strokes show streaking and intermittent gaps that suggest a dry brush or rough printing surface. Spacing appears tight and compact, and the dense texture can darken at small sizes, especially in rounded letters and heavier downstrokes.
