An expressive, brush-pen style with tall, condensed proportions and a lively rightward slant. Strokes show visible pressure changes and dry-brush texture, producing jagged edges, occasional ink breaks, and pointed terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright-print in construction (unconnected), but with loose, gestural modulation and slightly irregular widths and spacing that create a hand-drawn rhythm. Counters are compact and openings can be tight, giving the overall texture a dense, punchy color in lines of text.
Well-suited to short-form display work such as posters, headlines, cover art, social graphics, apparel slogans, and packaging callouts where an expressive handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for subheadings or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and sufficient size to preserve the brush texture.
The font conveys a fast, handwritten intensity—part sketchy marker, part brush lettering—reading as bold, spontaneous, and a little rebellious. Its narrow, vertical energy feels urban and contemporary, with a casual confidence that suits attention-grabbing phrases and expressive messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, emphatic brush handwriting in a compact, vertical footprint, prioritizing immediacy and personality over strict regularity. Its textured strokes and condensed rhythm aim to deliver high-impact display typography that feels hand-made and energetic.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, with frequent tapering at entry/exit strokes and occasional exaggerated ascenders/descenders that add drama. Numerals follow the same gestural style and maintain the condensed, energetic stance, helping mixed text feel cohesive. Because of the textured edges and tight interior spaces, it reads best at larger sizes where the brush character remains clear.
