A slanted, brush-script style with assertive, heavy strokes and noticeably textured edges, as if made with a dry marker or bristle brush. Letterforms mix rounded joins with occasional sharp terminals, and stroke thickness varies within each glyph, producing a lively rhythm and uneven color on the page. Spacing and widths feel intentionally irregular, reinforcing the hand-rendered look while maintaining clear, readable silhouettes across both cases and numerals.
Works well for short, attention-grabbing text where the brush texture can be appreciated: posters, product labels, café or bar signage, apparel graphics, and social media promos. It also suits titles and pull quotes that benefit from a handmade, gritty emphasis.
The font conveys an informal, punchy tone with a rough, tactile character. Its ink-like texture and quick, gestural forms suggest immediacy and motion, giving headlines a bold, street-level energy rather than a polished corporate feel.
Likely designed to mimic bold brush lettering with natural variation and worn edges, delivering a handcrafted script feel without requiring custom lettering. The emphasis appears to be on expressive impact and texture-driven personality for display applications.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, sign-painter capitals, while the lowercase keeps a loose script flow with frequent single-storey shapes and occasional tall ascenders/descenders. Numerals share the same brush texture and forward lean, helping mixed text stay visually consistent. The overall texture is a prominent feature, with slight edge breakup and occasional interior thinning that reads like dry ink on paper.
