A slanted, brush-driven script with sharp, tapering terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes appear dry and irregular, with occasional breaks and rough edges that mimic textured ink on paper. Letterforms are condensed and upright in structure despite the strong italic slant, with narrow bowls and tight internal counters. Connections are mostly implied rather than fully cursive, giving the rhythm a handwritten, slightly jittery cadence while maintaining consistent overall proportions across the set.
Works best at display sizes where the dry-brush texture and sharp contrast can be appreciated—posters, titles, packaging, and expressive branding. It can add grit and motion to short phrases, logos, and pull quotes, but the narrow forms and busy texture make it less suitable for long body text or small UI sizes.
The tone is energetic and slightly aggressive, like quick ink lettering made with a pointed brush. Its rough texture and narrow, rising forms give it a dramatic, urgent feel suited to impactful, stylized messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted brush lettering with a deliberately rough, worn print character. The goal appears to be high-impact expressiveness—combining condensed, italic momentum with distressed ink texture for a raw, contemporary look.
Uppercase forms read like calligraphic caps with exaggerated diagonals, while the lowercase maintains a brisk, sketch-like flow with spurs and flicks that add bite. Numerals follow the same tapered brush logic and retain legibility, though the texture and sharp joins give them a lively, imperfect finish.
