An energetic brush-script with a steep rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show clear brush behavior—tapered entries, heavier downstrokes, and occasional dry-brush texture that creates rough edges and uneven fill. Letterforms are narrow and tightly wound, with sharp joins and angled terminals that keep the rhythm brisk. Lowercase forms stay relatively small against prominent capitals, while numerals and caps maintain the same lively, handwritten construction.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event promos, album/playlist artwork, apparel graphics, and packaging where a bold, handmade voice is desired. It works well for punchy headlines, short quotes, and branding accents, especially when some texture is welcome. For extended reading at small sizes, the narrow forms and rough edges may reduce clarity.
The font conveys a fast, assertive tone with a handmade edge—more like a bold marker or brush sign than polished calligraphy. Its roughened texture adds grit and immediacy, lending a contemporary, urban feel that reads as confident and informal.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with an intentionally imperfect, worn texture, prioritizing impact and personality over smooth regularity. The condensed, slanted construction suggests a goal of delivering speed, attitude, and strong visual momentum in display typography.
Texture and stroke irregularity vary from glyph to glyph, which adds authenticity but can create a slightly uneven color in longer passages. The strongest impression is in short bursts of text where the aggressive slant and sharp brush terminals can act as a graphic element.
