A slanted, brush-driven script with a narrow overall footprint and lively, variable stroke width. Letterforms show dry-brush texture with broken edges and occasional ink skips, creating a consistent distressed rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Strokes taper sharply at entry/exit points, with a mix of rounded bowls and angular turns that keep the texture active without collapsing legibility. Counters are relatively tight and the lowercase sits with a modest x-height, giving the face a compact, quick-written feel.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where texture and motion are assets: posters, album/cover art, beverage or craft packaging, merch graphics, and social media headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when given enough size and spacing to preserve the brush detail. For longer text, it’s most effective in brief accents rather than continuous reading.
The font conveys an informal, human, and energetic tone—like fast signage or a marker/brush note captured mid-motion. Its roughened texture adds a gritty, street-level attitude that reads as authentic and tactile rather than polished. Overall, it feels dynamic and expressive, suited to messaging that should look personal and emphatic.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately rough, dry-ink finish, balancing legibility with a handmade, worn print character. It aims to provide an expressive script voice that feels immediate and tactile, as if painted or written in one take, while remaining consistent enough for repeatable branding use.
Capitals lean toward simplified, bold brush gestures that work well as leading words, while lowercase maintains a steady cursive flow with frequent partial connections and open joins. Numerals share the same dry-brush treatment and forward slant, helping mixed text feel cohesive. The texture remains noticeable at display sizes and may become visually busy if set too small or tightly tracked.
