A lively brush-pen style with heavy, tapered strokes and visibly textured edges that suggest dry-brush drag and ink pooling. Letterforms are upright-to-slightly slanted with bouncy baselines and uneven stroke endings, creating an intentionally irregular rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and sometimes partially closed by thick strokes, while terminals are blunt, smeared, or flicked, reinforcing a hand-drawn, marker-like presence. Overall spacing feels organic rather than mechanically consistent, with noticeable variation in character widths and stroke density across the set.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and social graphics where texture and energy are desirable. It can work for event promotion or informal branding accents, especially when set at larger sizes where the brush detail remains clear.
The font reads as spontaneous and expressive, with a scrappy, handmade attitude. Its rough texture and punchy weight give it an energetic, DIY tone that feels friendly but bold, leaning toward urban, poster-like informality rather than polished calligraphy.
Likely designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering made with a brush marker—capturing texture, pressure changes, and imperfect edges for a bold, human feel. The emphasis appears to be on expressive impact and personality rather than typographic uniformity for extended reading.
In longer lines, the dense strokes and textured edges create strong color on the page, while the more irregular shapes add character at display sizes. The numerals match the same brushy construction, and several uppercase forms have simplified, gestural structures that prioritize impact over geometric precision.
