A condensed, right-leaning handwritten face with a brush-pen feel and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from quick, tapered strokes with occasional sharp hooks and pointed terminals, giving the outlines a rough, lightly distressed texture. Curves are narrow and upright in their proportions, while stems and diagonals vary subtly in thickness and pressure, creating a lively rhythm. Spacing and widths fluctuate slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-drawn character; numerals follow the same narrow, gestural construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, cover art, event flyers, logotypes, and bold packaging callouts. The narrow proportions help fit longer words into tight spaces, while the rough brush texture adds character in display sizes and on textured backgrounds.
The overall tone is energetic and slightly abrasive—more street-poster than formal script. Its scratchy texture and fast strokes suggest immediacy and attitude, reading as informal, human, and a bit rebellious.
This font appears designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with a deliberately roughened finish, prioritizing personality and motion over pristine geometry. It aims to deliver an expressive, handcrafted voice that stands out in contemporary, theme-driven display settings.
Many capitals read like swift marker initials, while lowercase forms stay compact and upright with minimal ornamentation. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across letters and figures, helping the set feel cohesive despite naturalistic variation.
