A heavy, brush-drawn print face with compact proportions and a lively rightward slant. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softened joins and slightly blunted terminals that suggest a marker or dry-brush tool. Edges are intentionally irregular, creating a textured silhouette and subtly shifting stroke widths from letter to letter. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm is energetic rather than tightly regimented, with noticeable variation in widths and shapes across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, cover art, product packaging, logos, and social media graphics. The dense weight and textured edges help it hold attention at display sizes, while longer paragraphs may feel visually heavy and busy compared to cleaner text faces.
The tone is informal and upbeat, with a bold, slightly gritty handmade character. It feels friendly and spontaneous, like quick brush lettering used for eye-catching notes, posters, or packaging callouts, while the roughness adds a touch of streetwise ruggedness.
The design appears intended to replicate quick, confident brush printing with strong visual color and a casual slant. It prioritizes personality and impact over precision, delivering a handmade look that stays legible in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, poster-like shapes with rounded corners and minimal detailing, while the lowercase keeps a handwritten immediacy and uneven baseline feel. Numerals match the same brush texture and weight, maintaining strong color and visual punch in short strings.
