A slanted, brush-pen script with a lively, handwritten rhythm and irregular stroke edges that read as dry-brush texture. Strokes show subtle pressure shifts and tapered terminals, with occasional heavy downstrokes and quick, sharp joins that keep the line moving. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a modest x-height and elastic spacing that varies from glyph to glyph. Counters are generally open, and the overall texture is dark and broken rather than smooth, giving the alphabet a consistently worn, ink-on-paper feel.
Best suited for short, prominent text where the textured brush quality can be appreciated—posters, headline treatments, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It also fits music, streetwear, and craft-oriented branding where a handmade, imperfect finish supports the message. For longer passages, larger sizes help maintain clarity while preserving the intended rough, dry-brush look.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone with a gritty, urban edge. Its roughened strokes feel spontaneous and energetic, like quick marker or brush lettering, balancing friendliness with a slightly rebellious, handmade character.
Designed to mimic fast brush lettering with deliberate roughness, combining a consistent italic flow with distressed edges to create a bold handmade signature. The intent appears to prioritize gesture, texture, and personality over polished uniformity, delivering an expressive script that feels printed from real ink.
The uppercase set mixes simple, looped constructions with brisk, angular entries, and the figures follow the same handwritten logic with uneven widths and textured curves. In longer lines the consistent slant and repeated brush artifacts create a cohesive, tactile color, though the distressed edges are a dominant stylistic feature.
