A condensed, right-slanted brush script with dry, textured strokes and irregular edges that mimic a worn marker or quick brush pen. Stems and curves show noticeable stroke modulation, with tapered entries/exits and occasional blunt terminals that create a broken-ink feel. Proportions are tight and tall, with compact counters and a lively, uneven rhythm; letters are largely unconnected but maintain a cohesive handwritten flow through consistent slant and stroke behavior. Numerals follow the same narrow, gestural construction with slight width variation from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and motion are desirable—posters, headlines, album/cover art, event promos, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also work for brand marks or labels that benefit from a handmade, rough-brush attitude, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the stroke texture is visible.
The font conveys a raw, street-level confidence—informal and punchy, with a slightly abrasive texture that feels human and immediate. Its quick, gestural movement reads as spontaneous and energetic rather than polished or classic.
Likely designed to capture a fast, hand-painted or marker-written look with intentionally imperfect, distressed edges, prioritizing personality and energy over smooth uniformity. The condensed, slanted structure helps it fit assertive messaging into tight spaces while maintaining a lively handwritten voice.
In longer text the texture becomes a prominent part of the color, producing a dark, brushy stripe with occasional rough spots that add character. The narrow set and tight spacing help it feel urgent and compact, while the distressed stroke edges keep it from feeling sterile.
