A slanted, brush-drawn display face with compact proportions and visibly textured stroke edges. Letterforms show strong modulation, with tapered terminals and occasional blunt, ink-heavy joins that create a lively, uneven color on the line. Strokes look dry and slightly broken in places, producing rough contours and small interior nicks that read as deliberate texture rather than geometric precision. Overall spacing feels tight and rhythmically irregular in a natural, handwritten way, with simplified forms that favor gesture and speed over symmetry.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, cover titles, branding lockups, packaging labels, merch graphics, and social media promos. The textured strokes help add personality at medium to large sizes, where the rough edges and modulation read clearly and contribute to the overall voice.
The font conveys a spontaneous, human tone—confident and a bit rough-around-the-edges. Its brush texture and energetic slant give it an informal, streetwise character that feels active and direct, like lettering made quickly for impact. The overall mood is friendly but gritty, leaning toward expressive headline writing rather than polite refinement.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a dry, worn ink effect, combining strong gesture with intentional irregularity for a handmade, attention-grabbing look. The goal appears to be expressive display typography that adds texture and attitude without requiring complex ornamentation.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent brush vocabulary, with noticeable variation in stroke thickness and terminal shapes that enhances the handcrafted feel. Numerals follow the same textured treatment and maintain the forward motion of the alphabet, supporting cohesive use in short statements where the distressed edges can remain legible.
