A slanted, brush-pen script with a dry, textured stroke that produces ragged edges and occasional ink skips. Letters are narrow and vertically oriented, with quick, tapered entries and exits and a lively baseline that wavers slightly like fast handwriting. Contrast comes from pressure-like thick–thin modulation, but the overall color stays punchy due to the rough, inked texture. Forms are mostly semi-connected in flow while still reading as individual characters, with tight internal spaces and compact proportions.
Works well for display-led applications where a rough, handwritten signature is desirable—posters, music and event graphics, apparel marks, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It’s best used in short lines, headlines, and emphasis text where the texture and slant can carry the message without needing sustained readability.
The font feels urgent and human—like a marker or brush note made in one pass. Its distressed texture adds grit and attitude, giving a streetwise, rebellious tone that can also read as rustic or handcrafted depending on context.
The design appears intended to capture quick brush lettering with deliberate wear and ink drag, balancing legibility with a gritty, tactile surface. It aims to deliver an expressive, handmade look that stands apart from smooth scripts by foregrounding texture and speed.
At text sizes the distressed edges become a key part of the voice, while at smaller sizes the fine texture and narrow counters may reduce clarity; it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals follow the same brisk, handwritten rhythm and maintain the same roughened stroke quality as the letters.
