A slanted, brush-pen script with tapered strokes and visible texture along the edges, suggesting dry-brush or ink drag. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with lively, irregular rhythm and small baseline fluctuations that keep the texture feeling natural rather than mechanical. Strokes show moderate thick–thin behavior from simulated pressure, with occasional blunt terminals and uneven joins that read as intentionally imperfect. Uppercase forms are simple and gestural, while lowercase keeps a fast handwritten feel with open counters and abbreviated connecting structure rather than fully linked cursive.
Well-suited for posters, punchy headlines, and branding moments that benefit from an expressive handwritten voice. It can work effectively on packaging, labels, and social media graphics where texture and motion add character, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes to preserve the distressed detail.
The font conveys an informal, human, and slightly gritty tone—like quick marker lettering or a rough brush note. Its texture and speed-driven shapes add urgency and personality, leaning toward streetwise, craft, and DIY aesthetics rather than polished elegance.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering with deliberate roughness, balancing legibility with a tactile, imperfect finish. The goal appears to be an energetic script that feels personal and crafted, while still functioning as a strong display face.
Numerals match the same brisk, handwritten energy, with simplified shapes and textured edges that help the set feel consistent across letters and figures. The overall color is strong and dark despite the distressed outline, creating high impact at display sizes while retaining a hand-rendered character.
