A slanted brush-script style with energetic, pressure-driven strokes and noticeable texture throughout. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits, with occasional blunt stroke terminals and rough, dry-brush edges that create a worn ink look. Curves and joins are fluid but intentionally uneven, with subtle wobble and small interior breaks that reinforce the handmade rhythm. Spacing is compact and the forms are generally tall and condensed, with lively baseline movement and variable stroke widths typical of fast brush lettering.
Well-suited for display typography where a handmade, gritty brush voice is desirable—posters, short headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It works best at medium to large sizes where the textured edges and stroke modulation remain clear, and where an informal, energetic tone is an asset.
The overall tone is bold and spontaneous, like quick sign lettering or marker-brush headlines. Its distressed texture adds grit and attitude, giving the face a casual, lived-in feel rather than a polished calligraphic one. The slant and sweeping capitals contribute a sense of motion and confident emphasis.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a dry, textured ink feel, prioritizing expressive movement and personality over geometric regularity. The distressed stroke edges and variable pressure suggest an intention to deliver a bold, handcrafted look for attention-grabbing display use.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often using broad, simplified brush shapes that read well at display sizes. Numerals match the same textured brush construction, keeping a consistent handmade voice across the set. The distressing appears integrated into the stroke shapes rather than applied uniformly, which helps preserve an organic, ink-on-paper character.
