A lively, handwritten italic with a dry-brush texture and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with quick, tapered entries and exits that suggest rapid pen or brush movement. Stroke weight varies within each glyph, producing a slightly broken, ink-skipping look in heavier turns and joins. Counters are modest and openings are often tight, while overall spacing feels natural and irregular rather than mechanically uniform.
This style works best for short to medium display copy where its texture and motion can be appreciated—posters, packaging callouts, album or event graphics, and social media headlines. It can also add personality to quotes, invitations, and branding accents when set at larger sizes with comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—confident and energetic, with a slightly rough, grunge-tinged edge. Its scratchy texture reads like marker or brush lettering on paper, giving it a DIY, vintage-notebook character that feels personal and spontaneous.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, real-world brush or marker handwriting, prioritizing gesture and texture over strict regularity. Its narrow, slanted rhythm and distressed ink effect are geared toward expressive display typography with a handmade, slightly worn print feel.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and gesture-driven, with several letters showing angular, single-stroke construction and occasional looped or open forms. Numerals follow the same quick, handwritten rhythm and maintain the textured stroke behavior, keeping the set visually consistent in mixed text.
