A slanted, brush-like sans with chunky strokes and visibly rough edges that mimic dry ink on paper. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with simplified, rounded counters and a generally monolinear construction that breaks into subtle thickness changes where strokes overlap or turn. Terminals are blunt and uneven, creating an organic silhouette and a lively baseline rhythm. Curves (C, O, S) stay broadly round, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) read forceful and tapered in places, reinforcing the hand-painted impression.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and motion are assets: posters, product packaging, event graphics, café/retail signage, and apparel or sticker-style branding. It can work for punchy pull quotes or subheads, but the rough texture and tight, compact forms make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is informal and punchy, like quick signage or marker/brush lettering. Its texture adds grit and warmth, giving it a retro, human feel that reads as energetic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted brush lettering while keeping forms simple and sans-like for strong, fast recognition. The consistent slant and deliberately irregular edges suggest a controlled, stylized “handmade” look aimed at expressive branding and attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the strong slant and textured edges create a pronounced forward motion and a slightly noisy color on the page, especially in longer lines. Numerals match the same brushed construction, with open, simple shapes that prioritize personality over strict uniformity.
