A slanted, brush-pen style with visibly dry, broken stroke texture and irregular edges. Strokes show quick pressure changes, creating sharp tapered entries and exits alongside thicker, inkier joins, with a lively, slightly uneven baseline rhythm. Letterforms are condensed and mostly upright in construction but consistently angled, with simplified shapes and open counters that keep the texture from clogging at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display text where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated—posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and merchandise. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but extended small-size body text may lose clarity due to the roughened stroke edges.
The overall tone feels informal and punchy, like fast marker or brush lettering used for attention-grabbing notes. Its rough texture adds a worn, tactile character that reads as authentic and handmade rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush lettering while adding a deliberately weathered, dry-ink texture. The goal appears to be an energetic, human feel with enough consistency to set words cleanly, while preserving the imperfect details that communicate attitude.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with occasional blotting and gaps that mimic dry ink on paper. Numerals follow the same brisk, handwritten logic, and the set maintains a coherent rhythm despite natural-looking variation in stroke endings and curve smoothness.
