A slanted, brush-like script with a condensed overall footprint and lively, variable stroke texture. Letterforms show uneven edges and intermittent thinning, suggesting a dry-brush or marker-on-paper feel rather than smooth calligraphy. Strokes taper at terminals and occasionally fray or break slightly, creating a rhythmic, hand-rendered irregularity. The uppercase is tall and gestural with simplified joins, while the lowercase maintains a compact x-height and quick, cursive motion with mostly disconnected, handwritten construction.
Well-suited to short, prominent text such as posters, event promos, product packaging, and brand marks where an expressive handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for social media graphics and album or book covers, especially when the rough brush texture is meant to be part of the message. For best results, it benefits from display sizes where the dry-brush detail remains visible.
The font reads as spontaneous and human, with a slightly gritty, street-notebook character. Its roughened stroke texture adds urgency and authenticity, giving headlines a personal, in-the-moment tone rather than a polished formal one.
Likely designed to capture the speed and personality of a real brush or marker stroke while staying compact for impactful display setting. The textured edges and tapered terminals aim to add analog warmth and a slightly worn, edgy finish.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing the condensed rhythm in text lines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with angled forms and textured strokes, keeping a consistent tone across alphanumerics.
