A slanted, connecting script with compact proportions and a gently modulated stroke. Letterforms show brush-like joins, rounded terminals, and looping capitals, with a slightly uneven baseline rhythm that keeps the texture active. Edges appear intentionally roughened and ink-worn, producing speckled interiors and softened contours that read like distressed printing. Numerals follow the same cursive, handwritten logic with simple, slightly irregular forms.
Works best for display settings where the textured script can be appreciated—packaging labels, café or boutique signage, posters, and logo wordmarks. It’s also suitable for short editorial headlines or pull quotes that benefit from a handmade, vintage voice rather than strict typographic uniformity.
The overall tone feels informal and nostalgic, like a hand-lettered note or a timeworn sign. The distressed texture adds a lived-in, analog quality—friendly and approachable rather than polished or luxurious.
Likely designed to evoke hand-painted or brush-lettered script with an intentionally weathered finish, combining connected cursive flow with a printed, aged texture for instant character and theme-driven styling.
Capital letters are ornate but remain readable, with prominent entry strokes and occasional swash-like curves. The texture is consistent across the set, so large sizes emphasize the worn detail while smaller sizes blend the distress into a general softness.
