A slanted, brush-script style with compact proportions and lively, irregular stroke edges. Letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a dry-brush texture that creates broken contours and occasional interior speckling, giving a worn printed feel. Strokes taper into pointed terminals, with looping descenders on several lowercase letters and a generally tight, fast rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same hand-painted logic, with narrow, slightly uneven widths and sharp entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a strong handmade voice is desired, such as posters, product packaging, logos/wordmarks, apparel graphics, and music or event promotion. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or social graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The font conveys an informal, hand-crafted attitude—part energetic signwriting, part rough brush lettering. Its textured strokes and brisk slant create a bold, human presence that feels spontaneous and slightly gritty rather than polished or formal.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering with a deliberately weathered surface, combining dynamic contrast and a compact italic flow. The goal appears to be maximum personality and motion, delivering a bold hand-rendered look that feels authentic and slightly distressed.
Spacing appears naturally compact and the texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps the distressed character read as intentional rather than incidental. The narrow footprint makes it easy to build dense headline lines, while the scratchy edges remain a prominent stylistic feature at any size.
