A brush-driven script with a strong thick–thin rhythm and visibly textured edges, as if laid down with a dry or loaded brush. Strokes taper sharply into hairline terminals, with occasional ink traps, frayed contours, and small irregularities that create a worn, print-like texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with a slightly bouncing baseline feel, and proportions vary from compact, narrow shapes to more open, looping forms, especially in ascenders and descenders. Uppercase characters read as decorative caps with simplified, painterly construction, while lowercase forms carry the primary cursive flow; spacing remains airy enough for the texture to stay legible at display sizes.
Works best in display contexts such as posters, album/cover art, café menus, craft packaging, event branding, and social media graphics where the brush texture can be appreciated. It can also add character to short subheads or pull quotes, but the distressed hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense paragraphs.
The font conveys a handcrafted, energetic tone—part vintage brush sign, part modern handmade lettering. Its roughened edges and punchy contrast add a gritty warmth that feels informal, expressive, and a little theatrical, suited to designs that want personality over polish.
Designed to emulate expressive brush lettering with intentional roughness, prioritizing a lively handwritten feel and tactile ink texture. The goal appears to be creating an attention-grabbing, personality-forward script that brings a handmade, slightly weathered aesthetic to contemporary layouts.
Texture is consistent across the set, with the strongest distressing appearing along thick strokes and at terminals where the brush lifts. Numerals match the calligraphic logic, mixing bold swells with fine entry/exit strokes, which helps maintain stylistic coherence in headlines and short phrases.
