An energetic brush-script with a strong rightward slant and sharply tapered stroke endings. Letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a dry-brush texture that creates irregular, worn edges and occasional speckling within strokes. The rhythm is quick and gestural, with variable stroke widths and slightly inconsistent curves that read as hand-drawn rather than mechanically smoothed. Capitals are tall and assertive, while lowercase forms are compact with short extenders and minimal internal space, keeping words tight and lively.
Well-suited to display work such as posters, punchy headlines, product packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a handcrafted, brush-lettered feel. It also fits editorial pull quotes, event promotions, and music or lifestyle graphics where a gritty script can add attitude and immediacy.
The overall tone feels bold and performative—part handwritten note, part display script—with a slightly gritty, printed-on-rough-paper character. The distressed brush texture adds a raw, handmade personality that can read as vintage, rebellious, or craft-forward depending on context.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast brush calligraphy with a deliberately rough, ink-worn finish. The goal appears to be an expressive, attention-grabbing script that brings human texture and dramatic contrast to short phrases and titles.
Because of the textured edges and compressed proportions, the face tends to look best with generous tracking and at medium-to-large sizes where the dry-brush detail can be appreciated. Numerals match the same brushy, irregular construction and maintain the energetic, slanted flow of the alphabet.
