A slanted, brush-pen script with a compact footprint and lively, irregular stroke edges. Letterforms show medium contrast with tapered joins and occasional blunt terminals, creating a dry-brush texture and broken outlines that read as intentionally rough. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven rhythm that feels handwritten rather than formally constructed, while counters stay fairly open for a brush style.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, cover art, branding accents, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and social media headlines. The texture and uneven rhythm make it most effective at display sizes where the distressed stroke detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is informal and punchy, with a gritty, street-level energy. Its distressed texture and brisk italic movement suggest spontaneity and attitude, leaning more raw and expressive than polished or elegant.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with a worn, dry-ink edge—prioritizing character, motion, and handmade texture for thematic display typography.
Uppercase forms behave like expressive caps rather than rigid romans, and the numerals follow the same brushy, worn treatment for consistent texture across mixed content. The set favors momentum and gesture over strict uniformity, which helps it feel authentic but can amplify visual noise at small sizes.
