A narrow, handwritten display face with an ink-brush feel and intentionally uneven stroke edges. Letterforms show slight wobble, irregular stroke tapering, and subtle texture that suggests dry ink or rough paper, with frequent small hooks and flicks at terminals. Curves are simplified and open, counters can be tight in places, and spacing is lively rather than mechanically even, creating a natural, hand-drawn rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event titles, album artwork, thematic branding, and punchy social media graphics. It can also work for labels and packaging where a handmade, slightly worn look is desirable. Use with generous tracking and ample size when clarity is important.
The overall tone is informal and expressive, with a slightly gritty, distressed character that feels energetic and a bit rebellious. It reads like quick marker or brush lettering—approachable but with enough roughness to add attitude and urgency. The texture adds a crafted, analog vibe that suits themes needing personality over polish.
The design appears intended to capture a fast, hand-lettered brush/marker aesthetic with controlled inconsistency and surface wear for character. Its narrow build and textured strokes suggest a focus on expressive display typography that feels analog and imperfect by design.
Uppercase forms mix straight, slightly bowed stems with rounded shoulders, while the lowercase feels more note-like and compact. Numerals are similarly hand-formed, with simple construction and visible stroke variation, keeping the set cohesive. At larger sizes the edge texture and terminal flicks become a defining feature; at smaller sizes the narrow proportions and irregularities can make long passages feel busy.
