A slanted, brush-pen script with textured stroke edges and visibly uneven ink distribution that creates a dry-brush, worn imprint. Letterforms are narrow and compact with lively, tapered terminals and moderate stroke modulation, giving a quick, handwritten rhythm. Curves are open and slightly angular in places, with occasional flicks and hooks that keep the forms energetic while remaining fairly consistent across the set.
Well-suited to short, prominent text where texture and motion are desirable—logos, product labels, headlines, event posters, and apparel graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or social media graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text and set with a bit of extra space to preserve the rough stroke detail.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a slightly rugged, lived-in character. Its texture and brisk italic movement suggest spontaneity and motion, leaning toward a nostalgic, artisanal look rather than polished formality.
The design appears intended to emulate fast brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, distressed imprint, capturing the look of ink on textured paper. It prioritizes personality and handmade authenticity over crisp, geometric uniformity.
Capitals have prominent entry strokes and sweeping gestures that read well at display sizes, while lowercase maintains a brisk, note-like flow. Numerals share the same brushed texture and slant, helping mixed content feel cohesive, though fine details can soften when used very small.
