A slanted, handwritten display face with a brush-pen feel and visibly rough, broken edges. Strokes taper and thicken within each letter, with occasional dry-brush gaps and uneven terminals that create a textured, imperfect rhythm. Forms are loosely constructed and slightly irregular in height and spacing, with long ascenders/descenders and small, compact lowercase bodies. Capitals are narrow and upright in structure but rendered with the same energetic, angled motion, producing a cohesive, sketched-in-ink appearance across letters and figures.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and gesture are desirable—posters, packaging labels, album/playlist artwork, book or zine covers, and pull quotes. It can also work for headers and signage-style treatments, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and expressive, like quick marker lettering on paper. Its distressed texture and lively stroke motion give it a gritty, handmade character that feels personal, spontaneous, and a bit rugged.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand lettering while baking in a worn, ink-on-paper texture for added attitude. Its goal is more about character and motion than precision, providing a distinctive, handmade voice for expressive display typography.
Texture is a primary feature: many glyphs show intentional wobble, frayed contours, and intermittent stroke breakup that reads as worn ink or dry brush. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly asymmetric construction and lively diagonals that match the letterforms.
