A rough, brush-lettered italic with compact proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes appear ink-heavy with visible wobble, tapered terminals, and occasional flared ends that suggest a marker or dry-brush tool. Edges are intentionally ragged and textured rather than clean, and counters tend to be small and slightly uneven. Letterforms keep a simple, legible skeleton, while subtle baseline bounce and inconsistent stroke joins maintain an expressive, hand-drawn feel across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are assets: posters, event and concert promos, packaging labels, café/food branding, album/cover art, and bold social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a hand-painted accent, but the distressed edges make it less ideal for small-body text.
The overall tone is informal and tactile, evoking quick hand lettering and DIY print textures. Its distressed surface and energetic slant read as bold and immediate, with a friendly, slightly mischievous character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to capture the spontaneity of hand-painted lettering while remaining readable, using controlled inconsistencies, textured outlines, and an italic lean to create motion and impact. The distressed finish appears intended to add grit and analog warmth without sacrificing basic letter recognition.
Capitals are upright-leaning with blocky, simplified structures; lowercase forms are more fluid and note-like, with single-storey shapes where expected. Numerals match the same brushed texture and compact stance, keeping a cohesive, hand-rendered palette across the set.
