A slanted, brush-pen script with high-contrast strokes and a visibly textured edge, as if printed from a dry marker or rough ink on paper. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with compact counters and tapered terminals; thick downstrokes and hairline upstrokes create a lively rhythm. Connections are intermittent rather than fully cursive, with many characters appearing as quick, separate strokes, and widths vary from glyph to glyph for a natural, hand-rendered cadence. The lowercase is compact with relatively small interior space, while capitals are taller and more gestural, providing a clear hierarchy in mixed-case text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and motion are assets: packaging labels, café menus, posters, social graphics, and branding accents. It can work for brief passages (as shown in the sample text), but the textured edges and narrow proportions make it most effective when given adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is informal and human, mixing energetic brush movement with a worn, analog texture. It reads as crafty and slightly rugged—more boutique and handmade than polished or corporate—bringing a sense of motion and personality to short messages.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a lightly worn imprint, prioritizing personality and analog texture over strict uniformity. The intent appears to be an expressive script that feels handcrafted and slightly weathered, suitable for themed or artisanal visual systems.
The distressed texture is consistent across strokes, producing a speckled, dry-brush look at both display and text sizes. Numerals and uppercase maintain the same brush logic, with simplified forms and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the hand-drawn feel.
