A slanted, brush-pen styled design with high-contrast strokes that shift from fine hairlines to fuller downstrokes. Letterforms are narrow and compact with a very low x-height, giving the lowercase a tall, lean rhythm and emphasizing ascenders and capitals. Edges and counters show visible texture and irregularity, as if drawn with a dry brush or printed roughly, producing slight breaks and darkened patches along curves and joins. Spacing feels lively and handwritten, with variable stroke endings and tapered terminals that keep the line moving forward.
Best suited to short display text where the textured brush character can be appreciated—logos, labels, packaging callouts, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for punchy headlines or pull quotes when paired with a cleaner companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is informal and human, combining a quick handwritten cadence with a worn, tactile finish. It reads as expressive and slightly gritty rather than polished, suggesting personality, motion, and a handcrafted sensibility.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of fast brush lettering while adding a distressed surface for a tactile, lived-in feel. Its narrow, slanted forms and compact lowercase aim for impactful, energetic display typography with a handmade edge.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, while the lowercase remains compact and angled, creating a strong contrast in presence between cases. Numerals follow the same italic, brushy construction, with noticeable texture that becomes part of the visual voice at display sizes.
