A slanted, brush-script style with lively, connected letterforms and noticeable texture along the strokes. The forms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional swelling where strokes change direction, suggesting a fast, pressure-sensitive tool. Edges are intentionally rough and slightly broken in places, creating a dry-brush/printed-wear effect. Letter widths vary and spacing feels naturally uneven in a controlled way, giving the line a rhythmic, hand-drawn flow while maintaining clear word shapes.
Works best for display-driven text such as posters, product packaging, labels, menus, and social graphics where a handmade, tactile voice is desirable. It can also support short subheads or pull quotes, especially when you want an informal script with visible texture rather than a polished calligraphic finish.
The overall tone is friendly and informal with a vintage, handcrafted character. Its worn, inky texture adds a nostalgic, analog feel—like signage, packaging, or a quick marker note—while the energetic slant keeps it upbeat and personal.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of handwritten brush lettering with a deliberately weathered surface. The goal appears to be an expressive script that feels human and analog, adding character and warmth to branding and headline applications.
Uppercase letters read like simplified script caps rather than formal calligraphic capitals, and several strokes show subtle wobble and ink buildup that reinforces the distressed finish. Numerals share the same brushy contrast and irregular edge texture, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
