A condensed, brush-pen style with lively, slightly forward-leaning forms and pronounced stroke texture. Letterforms show variable stroke width and pressure changes, with tapered terminals and occasional blunt, ink-loaded ends. Edges are irregular and grainy, with small breaks and wobble that mimic dry-brush drag and imperfect coverage. Overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight counters and simplified shapes that prioritize speed and gesture over precision.
Best suited to short display text where the brush texture can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, social graphics, and casual brand marks. It can also work for quotes or titles when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity in the textured strokes.
The font feels informal and human, with an energetic, hand-lettered attitude. Its rough brush texture adds a rugged, DIY character that reads as spontaneous and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to simulate quick, confident brush lettering with visible ink texture, delivering a condensed, impactful voice that feels handcrafted and slightly distressed.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent brush logic while keeping a slightly uneven baseline and hand-drawn consistency. Numerals share the same gestural construction and textured fill, matching the alphabet well for cohesive display use.
