A slanted, brush-script display face with heavy, pressure-driven strokes and visibly textured edges that mimic a dry brush or ink drag. Letterforms are compact and slightly variable in their widths, with tight internal counters and an overall forward-leaning rhythm. Terminals taper and flick, and stroke joins often show darker buildup where the pen would pause, reinforcing a hand-painted feel. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the set a cohesive, worn-in mark-making character.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where texture and motion are assets—posters, event promos, album or playlist artwork, and apparel graphics. It also works well for logo wordmarks and packaging accents that want a handmade, stamped-on energy. Use with generous sizing and contrast against clean supporting type to keep the rough edges readable.
The font reads loud, fast, and informal—more like a confident marker swipe than polished calligraphy. Its rough grain and punchy contrast add a gritty, streetwise edge, while the script motion keeps it friendly and lively. Overall it conveys action, attitude, and a vintage handmade authenticity.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering—bold, slanted, and intentionally imperfect—while maintaining enough consistency to function as a cohesive display alphabet. The built-in texture suggests speed, grit, and tactile ink-on-paper character for thematic, attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals are bold and gestural, and the lowercase maintains a script-like flow without fully connecting into a continuous cursive line. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with simplified shapes and textured strokes that stay legible at larger sizes while becoming more atmospheric as the texture accumulates.
