A slanted brush-script display with compact proportions and an intentionally uneven stroke texture. Letterforms are built from quick, tapered strokes that thicken and thin organically, with rough, broken edges that suggest a dry brush or ink drag. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with variable glyph widths and a mix of open, looping shapes alongside tighter, compressed forms. Numerals and capitals carry the same gestural construction, keeping the set visually consistent in a rough, handwritten way.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the brush texture can read as a deliberate stylistic cue—posters, covers, apparel graphics, and bold social headlines. It can also add character to packaging accents or pull quotes, especially when printed at sizes large enough to preserve the distressed detail.
The font conveys a candid, street-level energy—expressive and imperfect rather than polished. Its distressed brush texture adds grit and immediacy, evoking handmade signage, marker lettering, or fast calligraphic notes.
Designed to deliver a fast, handwritten brush-script voice with a deliberately worn texture, prioritizing expressive gesture and attitude over pristine uniformity. The compact, forward-leaning forms help create a punchy display style that feels contemporary and handmade.
Texture is a defining feature: counters and joins often show speckling and uneven fill, which increases the sense of motion but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The slant and narrow build create a forward, fast feel, while the irregular baselines and stroke endings keep it human and spontaneous.
