A condensed, right-leaning brush script with a dry, textured stroke that creates broken edges and occasional ink skips. Letterforms are built from quick, tapered strokes with pointed terminals and a slightly top-heavy rhythm, giving capitals strong vertical presence and lowercase a tight, compact silhouette. Contrast comes from pressure-like modulation—thicker downstrokes and thinner entry/exit strokes—while overall widths vary subtly by character, reinforcing a handmade feel. Counters are small and forms stay open and simplified, prioritizing speed and gesture over precision.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, event promos, album or video titles, and brand marks that want an expressive handwritten signature. The textured brush detail also works well on packaging, apparel graphics, and social media visuals where a raw, handcrafted tone is desirable.
The font conveys a fast, gritty confidence—like marker or brush lettering captured in motion. Its roughened texture reads as intentionally imperfect and urban, adding urgency and personality that feels informal, bold, and attention-seeking.
Designed to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with visible texture and imperfect edges, delivering a handmade, distressed look that feels immediate and expressive. The condensed proportions and slanted stance support punchy display use while keeping the overall rhythm lively and cohesive.
Capitals have a display-like flair with tall stems and sharp diagonals, while the lowercase remains compact and rhythmic. Numerals follow the same brushed construction and textured edges, matching the alphabet’s energetic, hand-rendered character.
