A slanted, brush-pen script with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show irregular edges and occasional dry-brush texture, creating a worn, slightly scratchy outline rather than clean curves. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with tight, variable spacing and a lively baseline bounce; many joins are implied rather than fully connected, keeping the rhythm quick and sketchlike. Uppercase forms are tall and gestural, while lowercase remains compact with small counters and simplified bowls, reinforcing a handwritten, calligraphic silhouette.
Best suited to short display text where its texture and contrast can be appreciated—posters, branding marks, apparel graphics, music or event promotions, and packaging callouts. It can also work for pull quotes or social graphics, but the rough edges and compact lowercase favor larger sizes and restrained line lengths.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a raw, hand-rendered character that feels spontaneous and a bit gritty. It reads like quick marker or brush lettering—stylish and spirited rather than polished—adding attitude and motion to headlines.
Designed to emulate fast, expressive brush handwriting with a deliberately imperfect, worn texture. The intent appears to be a dramatic, contemporary script that delivers personality and edge for themed display applications.
The texture is consistent across the alphabet, with visible tapering on entry/exit strokes and occasional spur-like flicks that give the design its distressed personality. Numerals share the same calligraphic modulation and narrow stance, blending naturally with the letters in display settings.
