A gestural brush-pen style with rapid, tapered strokes and frequent ink-like breaks that create a textured, hand-rendered edge. The letterforms are forward-leaning with a lively baseline and irregular stroke terminals, mixing sharp points with rounded turns. Proportions are compact and condensed, with tight counters and a noticeably smaller lowercase body relative to the capitals, giving lines a punchy, vertical rhythm. The overall texture is dark and dynamic, with visible stroke-direction changes that emphasize speed and pressure variation.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, social graphics, and expressive titling. It performs well when used at larger sizes where the textured edges and tapering can read clearly, and where a hand-drawn voice is desired more than typographic neutrality.
The tone feels energetic and informal, like quick marker lettering for attention-grabbing messages. Its sharp hooks and dramatic swells add an assertive, slightly rebellious flavor, while the handwritten irregularities keep it friendly and human. The result is expressive and lively rather than refined or quiet.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-written signage: fast strokes, strong contrast, and condensed proportions that maximize impact in limited space. The emphasis appears to be on personality and motion, delivering a bold, human feel for display typography.
Capitals carry strong personality with long, blade-like entries and exits, while lowercase forms stay compact and rhythmic, making mixed-case text feel animated. Numerals follow the same brush logic with punchy curves and tapered joins, maintaining a consistent hand-made texture across the set.
