A slanted brush-script with compact proportions and punchy stroke contrast, built from quick, calligraphic movements. Strokes show dry-brush breakup and irregular edges, with visible texture and occasional ink pooling that creates dark, weighty nodes. Letterforms lean forward with lively rhythm, narrow counters, and simplified joins that keep the flow continuous while preserving a hand-drawn, slightly uneven baseline and spacing.
Best suited for display settings where texture and motion are an asset—posters, promotional headlines, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and bold wordmarks. It works well at medium to large sizes where the distressed brush detail can remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is spontaneous and human, balancing confidence with a gritty, worn-in edge. Its textured marks read like marker or brush lettering on paper, giving it an energetic, streetwise feel that can swing from friendly to emphatic depending on size and tracking.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted lettering with a deliberate roughness, delivering expressive impact without needing additional effects. The consistent forward slant and textured stroke model suggest an aim for energetic display typography with a crafted, analog finish.
Uppercase forms are bold and gestural with open, brushy terminals, while lowercase maintains a looser handwritten cadence with varied entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same painted texture and forward motion, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed use.
