A slanted, brush-pen style face with a dry, textured edge and visibly uneven stroke boundaries. Letterforms are narrow and lively, with tapered terminals and occasional blunt, ink-heavy joins that suggest quick, gestural writing. Strokes show moderate contrast typical of a flexible brush, and proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered rhythm. The lowercase appears compact with relatively small counters and a short x-height, while capitals are tall and assertive.
This font suits display work where a handmade, distressed script feel is desirable—posters, album or event graphics, packaging accents, social graphics, and quote treatments. It performs best at medium to large sizes where the dry-brush texture and tapered strokes can be clearly seen, and it works well for short headlines or punchy phrases that benefit from an expressive, imperfect finish.
The overall tone is raw and personal, like lettering made in a hurry with a worn marker or brush. Its roughness reads as authentic and imperfect, lending urgency and attitude rather than polish. The italic slant and energetic stroke cadence give it a forward-moving, informal voice.
The design appears intended to capture spontaneous brush lettering with a deliberately rough print texture, combining a condensed silhouette with quick, angular gestures. It prioritizes personality, motion, and tactile edge detail to create an authentic, distressed handwritten impression for attention-grabbing display settings.
Texture is consistent across the set, with ragged edges that resemble dry ink on absorbent paper. Spacing and widths feel intentionally irregular, which adds character but makes the texture and slant more prominent in longer lines. Numerals match the handwritten construction, maintaining the same tapering and rough stroke behavior.
