A slanted, handwritten brush style with dry, textured strokes and slightly irregular edges that mimic marker or brush-pen drag. Letterforms are narrow and compact with a quick, forward rhythm, showing subtle stroke tapering and uneven ink density. Terminals are often pointed or softly frayed, and curves have a lively, imperfect hand-made contour. Overall spacing feels naturally variable, contributing to an organic line flow in longer text.
Best suited for short to medium display copy where the textured brush detail can be appreciated—posters, album/cover art, packaging, café or lifestyle branding, and social graphics. It can also work for emphatic subheads or pull quotes, especially where an informal, hand-painted voice is desired.
The font conveys an informal, energetic tone with a gritty, handcrafted bite. Its roughened stroke texture suggests spontaneity and motion, making it feel approachable rather than polished or corporate. The overall impression is contemporary and street-adjacent, with a hint of worn print or dry-brush character.
Designed to simulate fast, confident brush lettering with visible material texture, prioritizing personality and movement over strict regularity. The intent appears to be a practical, ready-made handwritten look that adds immediacy and human character to modern display typography.
Capitals read as brisk and gestural, while the lowercase stays compact and quick, keeping the texture prominent at display sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open, lively shapes and slightly inconsistent stroke pressure that reinforces the distressed, analog feel.
