A punchy, brush-marked handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show strong pressure changes, producing chunky downstrokes and tapered entry/exit terminals, with frequent dry-brush texture and slightly ragged edges. Letterforms lean toward simplified, angular construction with rounded counters, and spacing varies subtly in a natural, hand-drawn rhythm. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with bold, gestural shapes and slightly uneven widths that reinforce the informal feel.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the brush texture and assertive forms can be appreciated—posters, event promos, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and social media graphics. It also works well for brand accents, pull quotes, and section headers when a handmade, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is lively and informal, with a tactile, marker/brush immediacy that reads as spontaneous and human. Its textured stroke ends and energetic slant give it a street-poster and DIY sensibility, balancing friendliness with a bit of grit.
Designed to emulate quick brush or marker lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, prioritizing momentum, contrast, and tactile texture over formal regularity. The goal appears to be an expressive display face that feels personal and crafted while staying legible in headline contexts.
The alphabet shows noticeable baseline bounce and variable stroke endings that add character at larger sizes. Texture and contrast become a key part of the look, so very small settings may lose some of the brush detail while retaining the heavy silhouette.
