An expressive brush-style italic with compact proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show clear brush drag and tapering, producing sharp terminals, occasional ink breaks, and ragged edges that read as intentionally distressed. Curves are slightly irregular and the baseline feels animated, with subtle bounce and variable stroke endings that keep the texture prominent at both display and short text sizes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing typography such as posters, flyers, music artwork, and event promotion. It also works well for packaging accents, social graphics, and title treatments where a distressed brush texture can carry the visual identity without relying on additional effects.
The overall tone is loud, handmade, and slightly unruly—more street-poster than polished editorial. Its roughened brush texture adds urgency and attitude, giving headlines a punchy, DIY character while still remaining legible.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with deliberate wear and dry-brush artifacts, delivering a high-energy display voice. Its narrow, slanted silhouettes and rough terminals prioritize impact and motion over quiet neutrality.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, sign-painter shapes with emphasized entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains a quick, handwritten feel. Numerals carry the same brushed texture and slanted momentum, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay visually consistent.
