A slanted brush-script with compact proportions and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show visible texture and pressure changes, with tapered entries/exits and occasional blunt terminals that suggest a dry-brush or marker-on-paper effect. Letterforms are generally narrow and upright-leaning, with irregular edge wear and slight shape variation that keeps the line from feeling mechanical. Counters are small-to-moderate, joins are soft rather than sharp, and the overall spacing is tight, producing a dense, punchy color in text.
Best suited for display use such as posters, titles, brand marks, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics where texture and motion are assets. It can work for short phrases or punchy subheads, especially when a handcrafted, slightly worn look is desired; extended paragraphs may feel dense due to the tight, narrow forms and textured stroke edges.
The font conveys an informal, tactile personality—like quick signage, a handwritten note, or a bold brush headline. Its roughened finish adds grit and immediacy, giving it a spirited, street-level energy rather than a polished calligraphic elegance.
Likely designed to mimic a bold, quickly painted brush script while preserving clear letter recognition. The intentional roughness and slant aim to add human warmth and a distressed edge, creating a ready-made, analog feel for contemporary display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, with simplified, legible constructions and minimal ornamental flourish. The numerals follow the same painted texture and slant, maintaining cohesion for display settings and short bursts of copy.
