A slanted, brush-pen script with a narrow, upright rhythm and pronounced stroke contrast. Forms show tapered entry and exit strokes, occasional ink pooling, and uneven edges that create a worn, printed texture. Letter construction mixes connected-script tendencies with many separated characters, keeping spacing airy while maintaining a consistent rightward flow. Bowls and counters are compact and sometimes partially closed, contributing to a dark, punchy silhouette at display sizes.
This font works best for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, packaging callouts, album or event graphics, and social media headlines. The textured stroke edges and high contrast reward larger sizes where the brush character can be appreciated, while smaller settings may lose clarity as counters tighten.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a gritty, street-level spontaneity. Its textured strokes read as imperfect in an intentional way, suggesting speed, attitude, and a bit of rawness rather than refinement.
The design appears aimed at capturing the immediacy of hand-lettered brush writing while adding a deliberately weathered texture for extra bite. It prioritizes personality and motion over typographic neutrality, making it well-suited to thematic, expressive branding and display applications.
Capitals are assertive and gestural, with sharp turns and occasional flourished terminals, while lowercase stays compact and quick. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with simple, slightly irregular shapes and consistent slant that helps them sit naturally alongside letters.
