A condensed, right-leaning brush script with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin stroke modulation. Strokes show visible texture and slight breaks that mimic dry brush or worn ink, giving letterforms a roughened edge. Forms are tall and narrow with tight internal counters, a low x-height, and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, wiry rhythm. The set reads as a connected handwritten style in text, with variable stroke pressure and occasional angular joins that add bite to curves.
Best suited for display settings where texture and motion are an asset—posters, event graphics, album/playlist artwork, apparel graphics, and bold branding accents. It can also work for short packaging callouts or social media headlines when you want a fast, hand-painted feel.
The overall tone is gritty and high-energy, blending a handwritten immediacy with a slightly aggressive, distressed finish. It feels contemporary and street-influenced, with a dramatic, punchy motion suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet body copy.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of fast brush lettering while adding a deliberately worn, imperfect surface for a tougher, more dramatic presence. Its narrow build and strong contrast prioritize impact and rhythm in short phrases and titles.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent slanted, brush-driven construction, while numerals follow the same narrow, tapered logic for a cohesive look in headlines. The texture is strong enough to be noticeable at display sizes, and the narrow proportions help pack a lot of characters into limited horizontal space.
