A slanted, condensed handwritten face with brush-pen construction and visibly textured edges. Strokes show natural tapering and mild contrast, with occasional ink-breaks and roughened contours that create a dry-brush, slightly distressed finish. Letterforms are narrow with lively, variable rhythm and subtly irregular baselines, while counters stay fairly open to preserve readability. The overall silhouette feels quick and gestural, balancing legibility with purposeful roughness.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where its dry-brush texture can be seen: posters, event promos, album/playlist artwork, packaging accents, and social graphics. It can also add a handmade edge to pull quotes and section headers, especially at larger sizes where the rough stroke detail remains clear.
The tone is informal and energetic, with a street-poster, indie craft sensibility. Its texture and angular momentum add urgency and attitude, reading as human, spontaneous, and a bit raw rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate fast brush lettering with a worn, printed feel—capturing the energy of a hand-painted note while adding texture that suggests analog ink on paper.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush vocabulary, with compact proportions that keep words tight and punchy. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, maintaining the textured stroke endings and slightly uneven pressure to avoid a mechanical look.
