A condensed, handwritten display face with brush-pen construction and visibly uneven stroke edges. Strokes show intermittent thick–thin behavior and slight wobble, giving counters and terminals a rough, textured finish. Letterforms are mostly upright with a narrow overall set, while individual glyph widths vary, creating an irregular rhythm. The lowercase has a relatively low x-height with tall ascenders, and spacing appears loosely tuned, emphasizing the handmade character over strict uniformity.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where texture is an asset: posters, punchy headlines, album/cover art, casual packaging, and social or promotional graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles when a handmade, imperfect tone is desired, but the narrow set and rough detailing make it less ideal for long paragraphs at small sizes.
The font projects an informal, gritty personality—like quick marker or dry-brush lettering scanned from paper. Its rough edges and lively stroke movement feel energetic and a bit rebellious, balancing friendliness with a raw, street-made texture.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive brush lettering with a deliberately worn, imperfect print feel. It prioritizes personality and tactile texture—capturing pressure changes, rough edges, and uneven rhythm—over polished, typographic regularity.
Capitals are simple and legible but retain irregular stroke starts and stops, and rounded forms show slightly lumpy curves that reinforce the distressed texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open shapes and inconsistent stroke pressure that reads clearly at larger sizes.
