A slanted brush-script with sharp, tapered terminals and visibly textured stroke edges, as if made with a dry marker or brush. Strokes show strong modulation and occasional ink breaks, creating a lively, irregular rhythm while keeping letterforms generally consistent. Uppercase forms are tall and angular with sweeping entries and exits, while lowercase is compact with looped ascenders/descenders and simplified counters; numerals follow the same quick, hand-drawn construction.
Best suited to display settings where the brush texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging accents, social media graphics, and apparel or sticker-style designs. It works especially well for punchy titles, short quotes, and branding moments that want an expressive handwritten voice rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a gritty, streetwise edge. Its dry-brush texture and brisk stroke rhythm suggest spontaneity and motion, reading as confident, edgy, and handmade rather than polished or refined.
Likely designed to emulate fast brush lettering with a distressed, dry-ink finish, balancing legibility with a deliberately rough, energetic texture. The consistent slant and repeated stroke behaviors aim to provide a cohesive handwritten look across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Texture is most evident along curves and joins, where the stroke looks slightly ragged and varies in density. The slant and connected-script feel create strong forward momentum in words, while the darker downstrokes add emphasis in headlines and short phrases.
