A condensed, slanted brush-script with textured, irregular stroke edges that mimic dry-brush or rough ink on paper. Strokes show clear angle-driven movement and modest thick–thin modulation, with pointed terminals and occasional flare. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel (though shown as separate glyphs), with varied stroke joins and slightly inconsistent contours that reinforce a hand-rendered rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and tall with simplified, gestural construction, while lowercase is compact with a short x-height and quick, calligraphic counters.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, event graphics, storefront-style signage, packaging labels, and punchy brand marks. It also works well for short headlines and pull quotes, especially where a hand-painted or distressed script look is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and human, with a slightly weathered, street-level grit. It reads as informal and expressive rather than polished, suggesting hand-lettered signage or marker/brush notes with a vintage edge.
Likely designed to capture a fast, brush-lettered script with intentional roughness, prioritizing character and motion over pristine geometry. The narrow, upright-leaning construction helps it fit bold phrases into tight spaces while retaining a lively handwritten presence.
Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven from glyph to glyph, enhancing the handwritten cadence. The numerals share the same brushy texture and slant, keeping headings and short callouts visually cohesive when mixing letters and figures.
