A slanted, brush-pen script with compact proportions and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms show sharp, tapered entries and exits, with occasional swelling through curves, creating a fast, calligraphic rhythm. Edges are intentionally irregular and slightly rough, as if made with a dry brush or worn marker, producing small breaks and texture in heavier strokes. Spacing is tight and the overall silhouette is condensed, with a mix of open counters and compressed joins that reinforces a quick, hand-drawn feel.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where texture and motion are desirable, such as posters, music or event branding, packaging labels, and apparel graphics. It can also work for punchy social media headlines and quotes, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The font reads as spontaneous and human, with a gritty, street-level character that feels energetic rather than polished. Its textured strokes suggest analog materials and imperfect printing, giving it a vintage, DIY tone suited to expressive messaging and bold, informal emphasis.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering while preserving a consistent, repeatable texture across glyphs. The goal appears to be an expressive, condensed script that feels hand-made and slightly worn, optimized for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, script-like caps rather than formal connected calligraphy, while the lowercase carries more of the flowing, handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with tapered terminals and slightly uneven curves that keep them cohesive with the alphabet.
