A slanted, brush-pen script with narrow proportions and a quick, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show visible texture and slight edge breakup, as if made with a dry marker or rough brush, producing natural thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected but share consistent forward motion, with compact counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel that keeps the texture lively in both caps and lowercase.
Works best in short-to-medium display settings where the textured strokes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging labels, apparel graphics, and social media assets. It can also serve as an accent face alongside a cleaner sans or serif to introduce a handmade, rough-brush contrast.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a gritty, handmade flavor that feels energetic rather than polished. The textured stroke edges add a worn, tactile character that can read as outdoorsy, streetwise, or craft-oriented depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush lettering with intentional texture, balancing legibility with an imperfect, handcrafted surface. Its narrow, slanted forms prioritize momentum and impact for expressive display typography.
Capitals are assertive and gestural, while lowercase maintains quick, legible silhouettes with occasional exaggerated loops and descenders. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, keeping the set cohesive for display lines and short callouts.
