A slanted brush-script with narrow, fast-moving letterforms and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes show a dry-brush texture with tapered entries/exits and occasional thicker pools, giving the outlines a slightly rough, hand-painted edge. Forms are compact and vertically biased, with tight counters and simplified joins that keep words moving forward; capitals are tall and gestural while lowercase stays smaller with short ascenders and modest bowls. Figures follow the same brisk, handwritten construction, staying narrow and slightly uneven for a natural, drawn feel.
Works best for short to medium lines where personality matters more than neutrality—posters, product packaging, labels, social graphics, and punchy headline treatments. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a simple sans in layouts that need a quick, handwritten emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and spontaneous, like lettering made in one confident pass. Its dry-brush grain and sharp turns add a slightly gritty, streetwise character while still reading as friendly and informal.
Designed to capture the look of brisk brush lettering in a condensed, high-impact style—prioritizing energy, motion, and texture over formal precision. The consistent slant and narrow proportions suggest an intent to fit expressive script into tight spaces while maintaining a strong, handcrafted presence.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and somewhat irregular, reinforcing the handwritten authenticity. The alphabet shows consistent rightward motion and repeated brush habits (tapered terminals, quick hooks), which helps the set feel cohesive even with natural variation from glyph to glyph.
