A slanted, brush-driven script that mixes loosely cursive lowercase with simplified, handwritten capitals. Strokes show pronounced dry-brush texture with ragged edges, occasional ink gaps, and tapered terminals, creating a lively high/low stroke rhythm. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with tight counters and a quick, forward-leaning cadence; bowls and joins often look painted rather than drawn, and spacing reads organically uneven in a natural way. Numerals follow the same painted construction, with angular cuts and roughened curves that keep the set visually cohesive.
Well suited to display roles such as posters, punchy headlines, apparel graphics, packaging accents, and branding that wants a handmade edge. It can also work for short quotes or signage where the textured brush character is meant to be seen rather than minimized.
The overall tone is informal and kinetic, like fast marker or paint lettering made for impact. Its distressed texture adds grit and authenticity, suggesting street, craft, or action-oriented contexts rather than polished corporate voice.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a dry, worn ink delivery, prioritizing energy and personality over pristine geometry. The consistent slant and textured stroke treatment suggest an intention to deliver a bold, handcrafted voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals are mostly upright, standalone forms while the lowercase leans more script-like, giving mixed-case text a poster-style contrast. The texture is strong enough to become a key design element, so it reads best when allowed some size and breathing room.
