A heavy, brush-script display with compact proportions and a distinctly irregular, hand-drawn silhouette. Strokes are thick and rounded, with soft terminals and frequent bulges and pinches that create a wet-ink, marker-like rhythm. Many counters collapse into dense shapes, producing a largely solid texture, while letterforms lean consistently and connect with tight spacing in text. Overall widths fluctuate by glyph, adding to the spontaneous, improvised feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and expressive branding. It works especially well when set large, where the energetic outlines and brush movement can be appreciated, and when used sparingly to avoid texture buildup in longer passages.
The font reads loud and playful, with a rebellious, street-art energy. Its chunky, inky forms feel informal and expressive rather than refined, suggesting speed, attitude, and impact.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast, forceful brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish. The emphasis is on strong silhouette, personality, and a dense, graphic color that holds attention in display settings.
At smaller sizes the dense interiors and tight joins can merge into a near-black mass, while larger sizes reveal the lively contour wobble and distinctive swashes. Numerals match the same bold, brushy construction, keeping a cohesive tone across alphanumerics.
