An informal, brush-driven italic with lively, pressure-sensitive strokes and a pronounced dry-brush texture. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits, rough edges, and occasional streaking that mimics real bristles. Proportions and widths vary from glyph to glyph, with open counters and simplified constructions that favor speed and gesture over precision. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and uneven in a deliberate way, with bouncy baselines and compact lowercase that keeps the texture dense in text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and motion are desirable—posters, event promos, packaging callouts, social graphics, and brand marks that want a handmade edge. It can work for short bursts of text or punchy subheads, but the rough brush grain is most effective when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The font reads as energetic and spontaneous, like quick marker or brush lettering made for impact. Its textured stroke and slanted stance give it a spirited, street-level immediacy that feels friendly, informal, and a bit gritty.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, confident brush lettering with visible bristle character and natural stroke variation. It prioritizes expressive momentum and tactile texture to create attention-grabbing, human-feeling typography.
At larger sizes the bristle texture and stroke tapering become a key feature, while smaller sizes can look darker and more mottled as the internal streaks close up. Numerals follow the same gestural logic, with loose curves and variable widths that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
