A slanted, brush-leaning handwritten face with thick, irregular strokes and visibly rough edges. The letterforms are built from quick, tapered marks that create a dry-brush texture and occasional ink breaks, giving the outlines a jagged, organic silhouette. Proportions are loosely controlled with variable glyph widths and a lively baseline rhythm; counters are generally open and shapes stay readable despite the gestural construction. Uppercase forms are assertive and compact while lowercase letters feel more cursive in motion, with simple, single-storey constructions and short, informal terminals.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets: posters, event flyers, album/cover art, apparel graphics, packaging accents, and social media headlines. It can work for short passages or punchy statements, but the rough edges and dense stroke weight are most effective at larger sizes.
The font conveys an informal, punchy tone—like a fast marker note or a painted sign—balancing legibility with expressive grit. Its texture and slant add urgency and attitude, making it feel human, spontaneous, and a bit rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with a dry, textured stroke, prioritizing immediacy and attitude over refinement. It aims to deliver strong visual impact while retaining clear letter recognition across a full basic set of capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
In continuous text, the uneven stroke texture and strong diagonals create a rhythmic, “written in one take” feel. The numerals match the same brush-driven character, maintaining consistency for headlines and short callouts.
