A slanted handwritten display face with a dry-brush texture and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are narrow and quick, with tapered terminals, occasional blots, and uneven stroke pressure that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are compact and sometimes partially open, while curves and joins show small wobbles and abrupt direction changes typical of fast marker or brush writing. Capitals are prominent and more gestural than the lowercase, and the numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with slightly inconsistent widths and baseline behavior.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, album artwork, apparel graphics, packaging accents, and event promotions. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when given enough size and spacing to preserve the rough edges and irregular joins.
The font conveys an informal, gritty confidence—like notes scrawled with a half-dry marker or brush pen. Its roughened texture adds a worn, analog feel that reads as human and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic quick, real-world brush or marker lettering with a deliberately worn ink deposit, delivering an expressive hand-made look for thematic, atmospheric display typography.
The texture and intermittent thinning can cause lighter spots and broken-looking joins at small sizes, while the strong slant and narrow forms help keep lines moving in longer phrases. The low lowercase height relative to the capitals increases the sense of emphasis and spontaneity, especially when set with mixed case.
