A slanted, handwritten display face with a brush-pen feel and visibly rough, dry-brush texture along strokes. Letterforms are compact and condensed with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body, producing a high vertical rhythm. Strokes show natural pressure changes and tapered terminals, with occasional thickened downstrokes and scratchy edges that create a worn, ink-on-paper impression. Overall spacing is tight and lively, with irregular stroke boundaries and slightly inconsistent forms that emphasize hand-made character over strict uniformity.
Works best for short display copy where texture and motion are assets: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and expressive branding. It can also serve for quotes or social graphics when set with ample size and breathing room so the distressed edges remain clear.
The font conveys an edgy, on-the-fly tone—like quick marker notes or a rough brush signature. Its distressed texture adds grit and immediacy, suggesting DIY craft, street-level energy, and informal authenticity rather than polish or restraint.
Likely designed to mimic fast brush lettering with imperfect ink deposition, combining narrow, slanted proportions with a deliberately worn texture to add attitude and urgency. The emphasis is on expressive rhythm and tactile edge rather than pristine geometry.
Uppercase shapes read as simplified, gestural capitals, while the lowercase is more cursive and compact, helping create a mixed-case voice that feels natural and handwritten. Numerals follow the same brushy construction and texture, keeping the set visually coherent in short, punchy settings.
