A condensed, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, variable stroke pressure. Strokes show a dry-brush texture with occasional breaks, tapered terminals, and slightly ragged edges that create a worn, ink-on-paper feel. Letterforms are generally upright in construction but written with quick, gestural movement; counters are small and sometimes partially closed by heavier downstrokes. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow with simplified, handwritten structures, while the lowercase maintains a very small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, producing a strong vertical rhythm and uneven, natural-looking color.
Works best for short headlines, branding accents, and punchy pull quotes where the dry-brush texture and tight proportions can be appreciated. It can add a handcrafted edge to packaging, posters, and social graphics, and it suits titles or overlays where a lively, inked script is desired.
The font reads as personal and energetic, with a slightly gritty, imperfect finish that adds attitude. Its narrow, slanted rhythm feels fast and informal, like a confident note written with a brush marker rather than carefully drawn lettering.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with natural pressure changes and imperfect ink transfer, prioritizing spontaneity and personality over mechanical uniformity. The condensed proportions and gritty texture appear intended to deliver strong impact while still reading as an authentic handwritten mark.
Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handwritten character and creating a dynamic texture in longer lines. The numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing thick-and-thin strokes with soft, tapered endpoints for a cohesive tone across text and display use.
