A spidery, handwritten script with a steep forward slant and tall, elongated proportions. Strokes are thin and wiry with intermittent thickened pressure points and rough, broken edges that create a dry-ink texture. Letterforms are loosely constructed with open curves and occasional wobble, giving an irregular baseline rhythm and a slightly erratic, human pace. Capitals are especially long and gestural, while lowercase remains compact and airy, with simple joins and understated terminals.
This style suits display use where an expressive, handwritten voice is desired—such as posters, album or podcast artwork, book covers, and brand marks that want a gritty, handcrafted signature. It can also work for short headlines or pull quotes when the goal is mood and texture over neutral readability.
The overall tone feels personal and edgy, like quick notes made with a worn pen. Its distressed texture and narrow, taut rhythm give it a slightly mysterious, noir-leaning character that reads as vintage and handmade rather than polished.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, slanted handwriting with the visual noise of worn ink or rough reproduction. It prioritizes atmosphere—gesture, speed, and texture—creating a distinctive distressed script for thematic and cinematic applications.
Spacing appears uneven by design, with some letters crowding and others leaving extra air, which enhances the improvised look. Numerals follow the same lean, lightly textured stroke behavior, staying understated rather than bold or geometric.
