A compact, brush-pen style print face with a strong rightward slant and dense, dark strokes. Letterforms are built from broad, pressure-like marks with subtly uneven edges, giving a dry-brush texture rather than perfectly smooth outlines. Terminals tend to be rounded and slightly blunted, with occasional tapered flicks, and counters are tight, contributing to a chunky, high-impact silhouette. The overall rhythm is lively and irregular in a controlled way, keeping consistent weight while allowing natural variance between glyphs.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing lines such as posters, hero headlines, social media graphics, and packaging callouts. It also fits apparel graphics, stickers, and branding moments that benefit from an emphatic hand-lettered feel. Use generous sizing and spacing when clarity is critical due to the tight counters and heavy stroke mass.
The font projects an expressive, informal confidence—like quick, emphatic marker lettering on a poster or packaging. Its heavy, slanted forms feel upbeat and assertive, balancing friendliness with a slightly rugged, hand-made bite. The texture and compact shapes add a streetwise, spontaneous tone that reads as energetic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush lettering in an unconnected print style, delivering a bold hand-made look with consistent punch. It prioritizes immediacy, texture, and gesture—creating a compact, slanted voice for display typography.
At text sizes the dense strokes and tight counters create a strong color on the page, making it best where impact matters more than long-form readability. Numerals match the brushy construction and maintain the same compact, forward-leaning momentum as the letters.
