A slanted, brush-script style with compact proportions and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes show visible texture and roughened edges, with occasional thickened terminals and tapered entries that suggest a dry brush or worn ink impression. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel even when set as separate glyphs, with simplified, handwritten construction and modest contrast that reads clearly at display sizes. Capitals are assertive and looped, while lowercase forms stay relatively small with tight counters and brisk joins, contributing to an overall quick, handwritten cadence.
Well-suited for posters, title treatments, and short slogans where its textured brush energy can be a focal point. It also fits packaging accents, apparel graphics, and social or promo visuals that benefit from a handcrafted, vintage-leaning script presence.
The font conveys a personable, informal tone with a worn, printlike grit—more street-poster and notebook than polished calligraphy. Its textured brush character adds urgency and authenticity, giving headlines a handcrafted, slightly rebellious flavor.
Likely designed to deliver the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering while adding a deliberately worn texture for character and mood. The goal appears to be an expressive script that feels tactile and printed, bringing a casual, authentic voice to display typography.
Texture is consistent across the set, creating a coherent distressed surface rather than isolated rough spots. Numerals follow the same brush-ink logic with rounded shapes and soft terminals, keeping the overall voice unified across letters and figures.
