A slanted, brush-script style with tapered strokes and a lively, irregular rhythm. Letterforms show visible texture and broken edges, suggesting dry-brush or worn-ink marks rather than clean vector outlines. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow with simplified construction, while lowercase stays compact with short bodies and quick entry/exit strokes; spacing and widths vary naturally across glyphs. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with soft terminals and uneven stroke buildup that keeps the set cohesive.
Well-suited for short display settings where a handcrafted, gritty voice is desirable—posters, event promos, album or playlist art, streetwear graphics, and packaging accents. It can also work for social media graphics and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the distressed details are clearly visible.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—confident and fast, with a slightly rough, urban edge. Its distressed texture reads as authentic and tactile, like marker or brush lettering on paper, giving headlines a sense of motion and immediacy.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with a deliberately worn, textured finish, prioritizing personality and motion over precision. The narrow, slanted forms aim to deliver impact in compact spaces while retaining an organic, handwritten feel.
Texture is most noticeable in curves and joins, where strokes feather and break, creating a dry, slightly scratchy finish. The overall silhouette is narrow and upright-leaning, so it stacks densely while still feeling fluid. Best results come from allowing a bit of breathing room around lines so the rough details remain legible.
