A slanted, brush-driven design with compact proportions and lively, uneven stroke edges. Letters are built from tapered strokes that swell and pinch, creating a strong dark presence with visible texture, ragged terminals, and occasional dry-brush gaps. Curves are slightly compressed and counters are tight, while verticals and diagonals keep a quick, forward rhythm. Overall spacing feels irregular in a natural way, reinforcing a hand-rendered look rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where texture and motion are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging, social graphics, and music or event promotion. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when set with generous size and leading to preserve the distressed details.
The font conveys an energetic, handmade attitude with a gritty edge, like inked lettering pulled quickly with a loaded brush. Its texture and motion feel informal and expressive, balancing roughness with an approachable, playful tone.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush lettering with intentional roughness, adding visual energy and a tactile, printed-ink character. The goal appears to be strong impact and personality, with texture and slant providing momentum and an expressive, handcrafted finish.
Uppercase forms read as bold display letters with simplified construction, while lowercase retains a more handwritten feel; together they create a casual mixed-case color. Numerals match the same brushed texture and slant, with compact shapes that prioritize personality over precision at small sizes.
