A slanted, brush-pen style script with broken contours and dry-brush texture that creates intermittent gaps and ragged edges along the strokes. Letterforms show quick, calligraphic construction with tapered terminals, occasional ink pooling, and uneven stroke boundaries that mimic expressive marker or worn print. Uppercase reads as loose, gestural caps, while the lowercase is compact and more cursive, with simplified joins and a slightly irregular baseline rhythm. Numerals and punctuation carry the same brushed, distressed finish, giving the set a cohesive, hand-rendered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, labels, and packaging where the distressed brush texture can read clearly. It also works well for music, streetwear, and event graphics that benefit from an expressive, handmade aesthetic, while longer paragraphs are more appropriate at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and gritty, like hand-lettering made in a hurry for a poster or album cover. Its textured strokes convey urgency and attitude, balancing a casual handwritten voice with a rough, vintage edge.
Designed to evoke quick brush calligraphy with a deliberately weathered, imperfect print quality. The intent appears to prioritize personality and motion over precision, delivering a display script that feels raw, tactile, and immediately human.
Texture is strong enough to become part of the silhouette, especially in curves and heavier downstrokes, so small sizes can fill in or lose the intended gaps. Spacing and widths fluctuate naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the organic, improvised character.
