An expressive brush script with a strong rightward slant and visibly dry-brush texture. Strokes show high contrast between thick downstrokes and lighter, tapering entrances and exits, with frequent bristle streaks and roughened edges that create a worn, ink-on-paper feel. Letterforms are compact and narrow with lively, variable stroke endings, and the overall rhythm is quick and gestural rather than meticulously polished.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the brush texture can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, album/cover graphics, and social media headlines. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a handcrafted edge, especially when set with generous spacing and simple supporting type.
The font conveys a gritty, streetwise energy—confident, informal, and slightly rebellious. Its textured brush marks read as human and spontaneous, giving text a handcrafted immediacy that feels more like lettering than typesetting.
Designed to mimic fast brush lettering with intentional wear and ink breakup, prioritizing attitude and motion over clean uniformity. The goal appears to be an expressive, impactful script for display contexts where a rough, tactile finish adds character.
Uppercase characters appear loosely based on script capitals rather than formal roman caps, helping maintain a consistent handwritten tone across cases. Numerals follow the same brush logic with tapered terminals and uneven texture, keeping the set visually cohesive in display use.
