A slanted, brush-script styled alphabet with tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show a dry-brush texture with ragged, slightly broken edges and occasional ink-like blobs, creating a deliberately imperfect rhythm. The overall build is compact and upright in footprint, with narrow counters, tight spacing tendencies, and a lively, uneven baseline that feels drawn rather than constructed. Capitals and numerals keep the same brisk, angular brush behavior, with sharp entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals.
Best suited to display settings where its brush texture and angled rhythm can be appreciated—posters, event or nightlife headlines, packaging accents, apparel graphics, and short editorial pull quotes. It also works well for logo-like wordmarks and titles that benefit from an energetic, handcrafted look, while longer passages may require generous sizing and spacing for clarity.
The font reads as spontaneous and human, with a gritty, analog feel that suggests quick marker or brush lettering. Its textured stroke edges add a worn, vintage energy, making the tone more streetwise and expressive than polished or formal. The overall impression is bold in gesture and confident, suited to attention-grabbing, informal messaging.
Designed to evoke fast, analog brush lettering with intentional wear and irregularity, prioritizing personality and motion over typographic neutrality. The distressed texture and sharp terminals appear aimed at creating a bold, handmade signature for thematic branding and punchy display lines.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, italicized display forms rather than connected cursive, while the lowercase carries more of the script cadence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with variable stroke endings that emphasize motion. Texture remains consistent across the set, keeping the distressed character coherent even at larger sizes.
