A chunky, brush-driven display face with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and slightly tapered with uneven pressure, producing soft bulges at joins and rounded terminals rather than sharp corners. The contours show visible texture and irregular edges, giving each glyph a slightly different, hand-inked silhouette while keeping letterforms broadly legible. Counters tend to be small and organic, and overall spacing feels tight and lively, with a deliberately imperfect rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, packaging callouts, labels, and bold headlines where texture is an advantage. It also works well for social graphics and merchandise that benefit from a hand-made, expressive feel. For long passages or small sizes, the heavy strokes and textured edges may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, like a quick paint-marker note or a bold brush sign. Its roughened edges and inky density add a gritty, street-level character, while the rounded forms keep it friendly and approachable rather than aggressive. The italic lean reinforces a sense of motion and spontaneity.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush lettering translated into a reusable typeface, preserving ink texture and natural irregularity for a lived-in look. It prioritizes personality and immediacy over polish, aiming for a bold, handcrafted presence in display typography.
Capitals are simple and assertive with minimal detailing, while the lowercase retains a handwritten flavor through irregular curves and varied stroke endings. Numerals match the same brushed construction, reading clearly but with the same intentionally imperfect texture.
