A slanted, brush-pen style design with compact proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show visible texture and pressure changes, with tapered entries and heavier downstrokes that create a slightly ragged, ink-on-paper edge. Letterforms are mostly unconnected and loosely constructed, with angled terminals, occasional sharp hooks, and variable stroke endings that enhance the hand-drawn feel. Counters are relatively tight and forms tend toward narrow, upright-leaning shapes, keeping words dense and energetic on the line.
Best suited to short to medium bursts of text where personality matters: posters, bold pull quotes, packaging callouts, event promos, social media graphics, and merchandise. It can work in subheads or short captions when set with generous spacing, but it visually asserts itself most effectively in display sizes.
The overall tone is informal and spirited, with a quick, confident hand that feels personal rather than polished. Its textured strokes and forward slant give it momentum and a slightly gritty, street-notes character that reads as bold and emphatic.
The design appears intended to capture the speed and pressure of a brush-written note while remaining legible in punchy display settings. Its narrow, slanted forms and textured edges aim to deliver emphasis and immediacy, functioning like a handwritten marker or brush accent in a layout.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, but retain the natural irregularities of handwriting—slight variations in width, join behavior, and terminal treatment. Numerals follow the same brisk, painted construction, matching the alphabet’s slant and texture for cohesive mixed text.
