A slanted, brush-pen style face with tight proportions and lively, variable stroke behavior. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits, occasional blunt terminals, and subtly uneven contours that mimic dry-brush texture and ink drag. Strokes maintain a clear calligraphic direction with moderate thick–thin modulation, while spacing stays compact to reinforce a narrow, energetic rhythm. The lowercase is notably small relative to capitals, with simplified, handwritten constructions and a slightly bouncy baseline.

Works best for short, prominent text where the brush texture and slant can read clearly: posters, event promos, packaging accents, apparel graphics, and bold social or editorial headlines. It’s effective as an expressive secondary face paired with a neutral sans for body copy.

The overall tone is informal and human, with a worn, tactile edge that reads as hand-painted rather than polished. It feels quick, personal, and a bit rebellious—suited to messaging that wants urgency and authenticity over refinement.

Designed to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering with a distressed, dry-brush finish, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect surface. The condensed, forward-leaning forms suggest motion and emphasis, aiming to deliver impactful display typography with a handmade feel.

Capitals are tall and gestural with open counters and occasional flourish-like curves, while numerals follow the same brush logic with simple, legible shapes. The texture is consistent across the set, giving a cohesive “marker on rough paper” impression that remains readable at display sizes.
