A slanted, brush-like display face with visibly irregular outlines and softly ragged edges that suggest ink spread or rough printing. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with subtle tapering and occasional blobby terminals that keep the texture organic. Letterforms have a gently bouncing baseline and uneven internal spacing, and the set shows noticeable width variation from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm. Counters stay fairly open for a textured style, while joins and curves remain deliberately imperfect rather than geometric.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the textured brush edges can be appreciated—posters, packaging, event promotion, stickers, and apparel graphics. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when paired with a cleaner text face to balance the roughness.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a scrappy, handcrafted confidence. Its rough texture and forward slant give it momentum and a slightly rebellious feel, while the rounded brush shapes keep it friendly and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush lettering with a worn or ink-bleed finish, delivering a bold handmade look without the polish of a clean script. It prioritizes personality and motion over strict regularity, aiming to feel printed, drawn, and human.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same brush-drawn construction, producing a cohesive, poster-like voice. Numerals and punctuation carry the same distressed edge quality, which helps maintain consistency in short bursts of text but makes the texture more prominent as sizes get smaller.
