A slanted brush-script with a condensed, upright-leaning rhythm and visibly textured strokes. Letterforms are built from tapered, pressure-like marks that shift between thick and thin, with rough, dry-brush edges and occasional interior breakup that mimics ink drag. Curves are open and swift, terminals are sharp or frayed rather than smooth, and spacing feels lively with small, natural irregularities. Uppercase has tall, narrow proportions and a hand-drawn stability, while lowercase stays compact with restrained counters and simplified joins; numerals follow the same brushy, slightly uneven construction.
Best suited for display settings where its brush texture and slanted energy can be appreciated—posters, campaign headlines, album or event graphics, packaging accents, and apparel/merch lettering. It works well for short to medium phrases, pull quotes, and logo-type treatments that benefit from a handmade, gritty feel.
The overall tone is spontaneous and human, like quick sign lettering made with a brush marker. The distressed texture adds grit and tactility, giving the font an active, streetwise character that reads as bold, informal, and creative rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture fast brush lettering with visible ink texture and imperfect edges, balancing legibility with a deliberately rough, handcrafted finish. The condensed, forward-leaning forms emphasize speed and attitude while keeping words compact for impactful display lines.
Texture is prominent enough that small sizes or low-resolution output may soften fine details, while larger sizes preserve the dry-brush grain and stroke variation. The narrow build and strong slant create momentum in lines of text, especially in all-caps or short phrases.
