A slanted, brush-pen style face with lively stroke modulation and visibly textured, dry-brush edges. Letterforms are compact and tightly set, with tall ascenders/descenders and a relatively small lowercase body that creates a bouncy vertical rhythm. Strokes show quick tapering at terminals, occasional ink pooling, and slight wobble, producing a natural hand-rendered inconsistency while keeping overall forms legible. Curves and bowls are simplified and slightly angular in places, and the numerals share the same brisk, sketched construction.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where its texture and motion can be appreciated: posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, and merchandise lettering. It can also add personality to quotes or pull-phrases, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body text.
The overall tone is informal and punchy, with a worn, street-level attitude. It reads like fast marker or brush lettering—confident, a bit messy, and intentionally unpolished—giving designs an immediate, human presence.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive brush lettering with an intentionally weathered imprint. Its goal is to deliver a bold human voice and tactile texture rather than polished, geometric precision.
Texture is a defining feature: edges appear frayed and interior counters can look slightly scuffed, as if printed on rough paper. Uppercase and lowercase feel related but not rigidly systematized, reinforcing the handmade character in longer lines of text.
