A slanted, handwritten brush style with compact proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show natural pressure changes and tapered ends, with slightly ragged edges that suggest dry-brush or rough ink on paper. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning, with simplified, open shapes and occasional irregular joins that keep the texture prominent. Numerals and capitals follow the same hand-drawn logic, maintaining a consistent forward motion while allowing small variations in stroke width and contour.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and motion are an asset, such as posters, event promos, cover art, packaging callouts, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a handmade, slightly weathered feel, but the rough edges and compact forms suggest avoiding long body text.
The font reads as informal and human, with a gritty, analog texture that adds urgency and personality. Its quick, sketch-like energy feels approachable and expressive rather than polished, evoking handmade signage, notebook marks, or poster lettering with a worn print character.
The design appears intended to capture fast brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, worn edge—prioritizing gesture, speed, and analog texture over strict regularity. It aims to deliver a distinctive, energetic voice that feels personal and crafted, like inked lettering scanned from paper.
Spacing and alignment feel intentionally loose, reinforcing the handwritten impression and creating a dynamic baseline flow in text. The distressed edge treatment remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping it hold together as a cohesive display voice.
