A brush-script style with a fast, right-leaning ductus and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to sharp points and show dry-brush texture, with occasional rough edges and slight ink breakup that creates a worn, distressed impression. Letterforms are compact and narrow with tight internal counters, a small x-height relative to tall ascenders, and a lively baseline that keeps spacing and widths slightly irregular while remaining readable.
Works best for short display settings where texture and motion are desirable: logos and branding accents, packaging titles, posters, album or event promotion, social graphics, and pull quotes. It’s most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the brush texture and tapered terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels personal and energetic, like quick lettering made with a pointed brush or marker. Its roughened texture adds grit and spontaneity, giving the font a modern handmade character that reads as bold in attitude even at lighter stroke weights.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, worn ink surface. The intent appears to be delivering expressive, contemporary headline typography that feels handcrafted and slightly gritty rather than polished or geometric.
Uppercase forms mix simplified, signature-like shapes with occasional decorative swashes, while lowercase remains more fluid and connected in rhythm without fully becoming a continuous script. Numerals follow the same tapered, brushy logic and carry the same subtle wobble and texture, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines.
