A loose, brush-pen script with a consistent forward slant and lively, variable stroke energy. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, relying on cursive-inspired shapes and quick, tapered terminals rather than formal joining. Strokes show irregular edges and occasional ink buildup, creating a textured, worn impression while maintaining clear overall silhouettes. Proportions are compact in the lowercase, with small counters and tight interior spaces, and the capitals are tall and gestural with sweeping entries and exits.
Best suited for short display settings where its brush texture and energetic slant can be appreciated—such as posters, album/cover art, branding accents, and packaging callouts. It also works well for pull quotes and social media graphics when set with generous spacing. For longer text, larger sizes and looser leading help preserve clarity.
The font feels spontaneous and personal, like fast marker notes or an on-the-go signature. Its roughened texture and brisk rhythm add a gritty, streetwise edge while still reading as friendly and informal. Overall it conveys movement, confidence, and a slightly rebellious handmade character.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, worn surface, balancing legibility with expressive motion. The goal appears to be an authentic handmade look—more like a gestural handwritten style than a polished calligraphic script.
Rhythm is intentionally uneven, with noticeable differences in glyph widths and occasional exaggerated swashes in capitals, which adds personality but can create a busy line texture at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and varying stroke pressure that matches the letter set.
