A slanted, brush-pen style script with visibly dry-brushed texture and slightly frayed edges that create a worn, imperfect print feel. Strokes show natural pressure changes and occasional tapering terminals, with a lively rhythm and uneven stroke boundaries that keep the letterforms from feeling overly polished. Uppercase forms are tall and gestural, while lowercase stays compact with relatively small counters, producing a quick, handwritten silhouette overall.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text where the textured brush character can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event promos, album/playlist art, packaging accents, and apparel graphics. It also works well for quotes or taglines when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to preserve the rough detail.
The font conveys a spontaneous, human tone—like fast marker or brush lettering captured in one take. Its roughened texture and angled motion add grit and urgency, balancing casual friendliness with a slightly rebellious edge.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush handwriting with a deliberately worn, dry-ink texture, giving digital type an analog, lived-in personality. It prioritizes gesture and atmosphere over strict uniformity, aiming for immediacy and impact.
Spacing and letter widths vary in a handwritten way, and the rough stroke texture remains consistent across letters and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive. The numerals follow the same quick, brushy construction, reading clearly while maintaining the distressed surface character.
