A condensed, hand-drawn print style with an oblique slant and lively, brush-like strokes. Letterforms show noticeable stroke modulation with tapered terminals and occasional sharp hooks, producing a slightly scratchy, inked texture. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with uneven widths and a loosely controlled baseline and cap alignment that reinforce the handmade rhythm. Uppercase shapes are tall and gestural, while the lowercase stays compact with simple bowls and minimal detailing; counters tend to be tight and forms are often open and angular rather than geometric.
Best suited to display settings where its gestural texture and condensed footprint can add personality—such as posters, packaging callouts, entertainment or music graphics, and short emphatic headlines. It can work for brief UI labels or social graphics when a casual handwritten tone is desired, but the irregular rhythm is likely more effective in short phrases than in long-form reading.
The font reads as informal and expressive, with a spontaneous marker/brush energy that feels personal and human. Its narrow, lively shapes and quirky irregularities suggest speed and attitude, leaning toward a playful, slightly edgy tone rather than polished refinement.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand lettering with a quick brush or marker, prioritizing expressive motion and individuality over strict consistency. Its condensed, slanted forms aim to create energetic emphasis and a distinctive voice in display typography.
Distinctive long ascenders and descenders (notably in letters like j, y, and f) create dramatic vertical movement, which can add character in headlines but may demand generous line spacing. Several characters incorporate pointed entry/exit strokes and hooked curves, giving the overall texture a slightly spiky, sketchbook quality.
