A condensed, forward-slanted hand-lettered style with brush-pen construction and pronounced stroke contrast between thick downstrokes and finer connecting strokes. The edges are intentionally rough and dry, with visible texture and slight irregularities that mimic worn ink or bristled brush drag. Letterforms are mostly unconnected but share a consistent cursive rhythm, using tapered terminals, occasional pointed joins, and lively, uneven curves. Capitals are tall and narrow with simplified, gestural structure, while lowercase shows compact bowls and a notably small x-height relative to ascenders.
It works best for short to medium display settings where texture and motion are an advantage—posters, event promos, album artwork, product packaging, and bold social graphics. In longer passages or at very small sizes, the distressed edges and compact interior spaces may reduce clarity, so it’s better used as an accent face than a body-text workhorse.
The font reads as informal and human, with a raw, distressed finish that feels energetic and slightly rugged. Its narrow, italic momentum gives it a fast, handwritten tone—more street-poster and DIY than polished calligraphy.
The design appears intended to capture quick brush handwriting with a deliberately weathered print character—combining speed, contrast, and texture to create a bold, personal voice that still holds together in structured typography.
Counters tend to be tight and some strokes approach each other closely, reinforcing a compressed, punchy color on the page. Numerals and punctuation follow the same brushy, textured logic, keeping the overall voice consistent across the set.
