An italic, brush-pen style face with compact proportions and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel, with slight swelling and tapering at terminals that suggest fast, pressure-driven movement. Letterforms are narrow and tightly constructed, with irregular contours and subtly ragged edges that read like dry brush or marker drag. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and the overall texture stays consistently dense and dark across words and lines.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text where texture and motion are desirable—posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, social graphics, and apparel graphics. It can work for brief subheads or quotes at larger sizes, where the rough stroke edges remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys a spontaneous, human tone—confident, informal, and a bit gritty. Its distressed brush texture adds a rugged, street-level energy that feels more expressive than polished, leaning toward handcrafted authenticity.
Likely drawn to emulate rapid brush lettering with a dry, imperfect edge, prioritizing energy and personality over typographic neutrality. The design aims to deliver a bold handwritten voice that feels raw and human, while remaining consistent enough for repeatable display use.
Capitals show strong forward slant and simplified, gestural construction, while the lowercase maintains a quick script-like flow without fully connecting. Numerals follow the same brush logic, appearing compact and assertive, with slightly uneven silhouettes that reinforce the handmade character.
