A compact, brush-made print style with a pronounced rightward slant and visibly dry-brush texture. Strokes are heavy but irregular, with frayed edges, tapering terminals, and occasional blunt, chiseled ends that suggest quick marker or paintbrush pressure changes. Letterforms are mostly unconnected and slightly condensed, with a lively baseline and uneven stroke rhythm that creates a hand-rendered, posterlike density. Uppercase shapes feel upright and blocky while lowercase forms are simplified and compact, keeping counters relatively tight and silhouettes punchy.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where the rough brush texture can read clearly—headlines, posters, cover art, packaging callouts, and punchy social graphics. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when paired with a cleaner text face to balance the strong texture.
The overall tone is raw and energetic, combining a casual handwritten feel with a gritty, street-poster attitude. Its texture reads as expressive and human, leaning more edgy than friendly, with a sense of speed and emphasis that suits attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush lettering in an informal print style, prioritizing impact and human character over precision. Its condensed, slanted construction and textured stroke edges aim to deliver urgency and emphasis in display settings.
The alphabet shows noticeable per-glyph variation in width and terminal treatment, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn look. Numerals are similarly brushy and assertive, matching the texture and slant of the letters for consistent color in mixed text.
