An expressive, slanted display face with brush-like strokes that taper into sharp points and occasional ink-splatter terminals. Letterforms mix broad, rounded bowls with sudden angular cuts, producing a lively, irregular rhythm and subtly shifting character widths. Several glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and small breaks that read as hollowed accents, and some strokes feel echoed by slight offset edges, reinforcing a shadowed, layered impression. Counters tend to be open and airy, while joins and diagonals stay energetic and slightly jagged rather than geometric.
Best suited to short text where texture and motion are assets: posters, album/film titles, branding marks, packaging callouts, and punchy editorial headlines. It can also work for playful UI labels or event graphics when used at larger sizes where the stroke texture and cut-ins remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and animated, combining a hand-drawn spontaneity with a slightly sinister, comic-book edge. It feels fast, gestural, and attention-seeking—more about personality than neutrality.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with controlled roughness—adding hollowed nicks and subtle shadow-like offsets to heighten contrast and create a more graphic, layered silhouette. The goal seems to be an energetic display voice that feels handcrafted and memorable rather than strictly uniform.
Uppercase forms lean toward bold, simplified silhouettes, while lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement and quirky details (notably in k, r, and s). Numerals keep the same brush rhythm, with angled entry/exit strokes and pointed ends that help the set feel cohesive in headlines.
