A slanted, handwritten script with a dry-brush texture and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with lively baseline drift and varied widths that mimic quick marker or brush-pen writing. Strokes show moderate thick–thin movement and occasional tapering terminals, while counters and joins stay open enough to preserve legibility despite the roughness. Uppercase forms read as simplified, handwritten capitals rather than formal calligraphy, and the lowercase maintains a small x-height with tall ascenders and descenders for a wiry, airy rhythm.
Best suited for short to medium bursts of text where a personal, hand-rendered impression is desirable—posters, packaging callouts, album/cover art, event titles, and quote graphics. It can work for brief subheads or captions when set with generous tracking and line spacing to let the textured strokes breathe.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a slightly gritty, analog feel—as if written on paper with a worn brush tip. It suggests spontaneity and personality over polish, giving text an approachable, journal-like voice with a hint of ruggedness.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick, real handwriting made with a dry brush or marker, combining expressive movement with a deliberately worn edge for a tactile, printed-on-paper feel.
Texture appears consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive distressed look without collapsing the main strokes. Spacing feels naturally irregular, reinforcing the hand-drawn character; the italics-like slant and narrow proportions help lines flow quickly in longer phrases.
