A wiry, handwritten script with a strong rightward slant and energetic, brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms are tall and tightly set, with compact lowercase bodies, long ascenders/descenders, and frequent tapering into sharp, pointed terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin movement and uneven edges that mimic dry ink or worn printing, producing a lightly distressed texture. The rhythm is variable and calligraphic, mixing open counters with occasional compressed joins and irregular curves for a natural, improvised flow.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, packaging, album artwork, and editorial headlines. It can work well for logos or brand marks that want a handmade, slightly weathered signature feel, and for short quotes or pull-headers where the tall, gestural rhythm can breathe.
The overall tone feels raw and personal, like quick brush lettering captured in ink. Its roughened texture and spiky terminals give it a slightly gritty, vintage character while still reading as elegant and gestural. The result is expressive and dramatic rather than polished or neutral.
Likely designed to evoke brush-script spontaneity with a deliberately roughened edge, combining calligraphic contrast with distressed texture for characterful display typography. The narrow, tall proportions and emphatic terminals appear aimed at creating dramatic, space-efficient headlines and wordmarks.
Uppercase characters read as gestural initials with simplified, loop-leaning constructions, while lowercase forms stay narrow and upright in their proportions with prominent extenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with compact shapes and tapered starts/finishes that maintain the textured, inked feel across the set.
