A slanted brush-script with a condensed footprint and brisk, forward rhythm. Strokes are thick and pressure-shaped, with frequent dry-brush texture that creates broken edges and intermittent interior speckling. Terminals are tapered and slightly frayed, and curves stay compact rather than expansive, keeping counters tight and silhouettes punchy. Letter widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a hand-drawn feel while maintaining consistent overall stroke energy and a strong, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited for short to medium display copy where the textured brush character can be appreciated—posters, event and music promotion, apparel graphics, product packaging, and social media headers. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or section titles when a raw, hand-rendered voice is desired.
The overall tone is gritty and kinetic, like quick marker or brush lettering pulled from street graphics and DIY print. Its roughened texture adds attitude and a worn-in authenticity, reading as informal, bold, and a little rebellious rather than polished or delicate.
Designed to deliver a high-impact brush-lettered look with deliberate wear and irregularity, balancing legibility with a rough, expressive surface. The condensed, slanted shapes and dry-brush artifacts suggest an intention to evoke speed, handmade authenticity, and gritty contemporary styling.
The texture is prominent even at display sizes, and the condensed italic construction emphasizes speed and motion. Capitals have a bold, gestural presence, while the lowercase maintains a compact, sketchy flow that favors impact over refinement.
