A slanted brush-script with a dry, textured stroke that produces ragged edges and intermittent thinning, as if drawn with a slightly worn marker or brush pen. Letterforms are compact and upright-to-right-leaning with tight counters and a lively baseline, while stroke joins and terminals vary in pressure and finish, creating a natural, hand-rendered rhythm. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with simplified, quick forms and occasional semi-connected behavior that reads like fast handwriting rather than formal calligraphy.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where character and motion matter: posters, event promos, product packaging, social media graphics, and punchy headline treatments. It can also work for logos and badges where a handmade, textured script helps signal craft, action, or personality.
The font conveys a spontaneous, human feel—confident, informal, and a bit gritty. Its worn texture adds a tactile, street-level authenticity that can feel sporty or DIY, while the brisk slant keeps the tone upbeat and in motion.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with intentional wear, balancing readable forms with lively texture to deliver an expressive, handcrafted script for display use.
Capitals are bold and gestural, functioning well as attention-getting initials, while lowercase remains legible but distinctly handwritten. The numerals follow the same brushy construction, helping mixed text and numbers feel cohesive.
