A brush-script display face with a pronounced rightward slant and compact letterfit. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with a dry-brush texture that creates rough, irregular edges and slightly broken terminals. The rhythm is lively and handwritten, with variable stroke width from pressure changes and subtly uneven curves that keep the texture visible at both headline and short-text sizes. Uppercase forms read as simplified, brush-drawn caps, while the lowercase maintains a connected-script feel even when letters are not formally joined.
Well-suited to short, impactful copy such as posters, headlines, logos, product packaging, and social media graphics where texture and motion are desirable. It also fits apparel graphics and event promotions, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text to offset the dense, brushy forms.
The overall tone is informal and punchy, suggesting fast marker or brush lettering with a slightly gritty, worn print character. It feels friendly and expressive rather than polished, balancing sporty energy with a handcrafted, street-level authenticity.
Designed to emulate bold brush handwriting with intentional roughness, delivering a quick, expressive look that feels printed or painted rather than digitally perfect. The compact proportions and strong slant emphasize momentum and make it effective for attention-grabbing display use.
Counters tend to be small and partly pinched by heavy strokes, while entry/exit strokes often taper into bristled ends. Numerals share the same slanted, brushy construction, keeping the texture consistent across mixed alphanumeric settings.
