A tall, slanted handwritten style with wiry strokes and a dry-brush texture that creates broken edges and intermittent ink density. Letterforms are condensed with long ascenders and descenders, and the baseline rhythm feels intentionally uneven, as if written quickly with a rough pen or brush. Caps are simple and linear with occasional sharp turns and hooked terminals, while the lowercase stays compact with small counters and minimal internal space, keeping the overall color light but animated. Numerals follow the same brisk, sketch-like construction, maintaining a cohesive handwritten cadence across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, title cards, album or book covers, and branding moments that benefit from a rough handmade voice. It can also work for pull quotes or packaging accents where the distressed brush texture is intended to be part of the visual storytelling.
The font reads like urgent notes or a marked-up script—raw, human, and slightly abrasive. Its distressed texture and jittery movement suggest grit and immediacy rather than polish, lending a moody, independent tone that can feel rebellious or underground.
Likely designed to capture a fast, expressive handwritten gesture with a deliberately worn, imperfect imprint—balancing legibility with raw texture. The narrow, upright-to-slanted structure and scratchy stroke behavior appear intended to convey urgency and attitude in display settings.
Texture is a major part of the identity: strokes show visible drag and irregular pressure, so the face can appear more intense where strokes overlap or where ink pools at turns. Spacing and proportions favor a tight, vertical silhouette, which amplifies pace and intensity but also makes long passages feel busy at smaller sizes.
