A slanted, brush-pen style script with visibly dry, textured strokes and irregular edges that mimic ink catching on paper. Letterforms are compact and quick, with a narrow overall footprint and variable stroke widths that shift between tapered entries and heavier downstrokes. The rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with open, simplified shapes and occasional angular turns that keep the texture prominent at both display and text sizes.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, event promos, cover titles, and social graphics where a handmade, gritty personality is desired. It can also support branding accents on packaging or labels, especially when paired with a cleaner sans or serif for body text.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—confident and kinetic, with a worn, streetwise edge. Its distressed brush texture suggests authenticity and immediacy, like hand-lettering made for posters, packaging, or fast headline work rather than polished calligraphy.
Likely designed to deliver a convincing brush-lettered look with built-in distress, emphasizing speed, texture, and attitude over geometric precision. The narrow, slanted forms help it set densely while maintaining an energetic handwritten presence.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, and the texture remains present across straight and curved strokes. Descenders are long and gestural, adding drama in running text, while counters and joins stay relatively open to preserve readability despite the roughness.
