A slanted, brush-script style with pronounced stroke contrast and an intentionally rough, dry-brush texture. Letterforms are compact and tightly set, with narrow proportions and quick, tapered terminals that mimic a fast marker or brush pen. The strokes show uneven edges and occasional ink breaks, creating a worn print feel while keeping the overall skeleton consistent. Uppercase forms read as loose, cursive capitals rather than formal romans, and the numerals match the same brisk, handwritten rhythm.
Best suited to display use where texture is an asset—posters, event promos, album/cover art, streetwear and apparel graphics, and punchy packaging labels. It also works well for short social graphics or pull quotes, where the distressed brush character can carry tone without needing long-form readability.
The font conveys a raw, handmade confidence—more street-poster and sketchbook than polished calligraphy. Its gritty texture and lively slant add urgency and attitude, giving headlines a punchy, human presence that feels informal and energetic.
Designed to replicate quick brush or marker lettering with a deliberately weathered imprint, prioritizing personality over smooth precision. The goal appears to be an expressive, imperfect script that feels hand-made and slightly rugged while staying cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Texture is a defining feature: counters and joins remain legible, but the distressed edges add visual noise that increases quickly at smaller sizes. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with noticeable variation in stroke width and curvature that enhances the hand-rendered impression.
