A slanted brush-script style with high-contrast strokes and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show a quick, angled writing rhythm with narrow proportions and compact counters, while capitals are more sweeping and display-like. Stroke edges appear slightly rough and broken in places, creating a textured, ink-on-paper feel rather than clean vector smoothness. Overall spacing is lively and somewhat irregular, reinforcing the hand-made character across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and punchy packaging callouts where texture and motion are an advantage. It can work for brief editorial accents or pull quotes, but the rough edges and animated rhythm make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The font reads as bold and expressive, with a streetwise, poster-ready intensity. Its brushed texture and energetic slant give it a vintage-meets-grit tone—more rebellious and dynamic than refined or formal. The overall impression is confident, fast, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush lettering with a deliberately worn print texture, balancing legibility with attitude. It emphasizes motion, contrast, and a handcrafted surface to deliver a distinctive, display-forward voice.
Uppercase forms lean toward flamboyant gestures and strong diagonals, while lowercase stays more compact with a notably small x-height, helping ascenders and descenders stand out in text. Numerals follow the same brush logic with angled entry/exit strokes, keeping the set visually consistent.
