An expressive brush-lettered face with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation typical of a pressure brush, with slightly tapered terminals and occasional blunt, ink-heavy endings. Edges are subtly irregular and textured, creating a worn, printed/inked feel rather than clean outlines. Uppercase forms are simple and upright in construction but still gestural, while the lowercase leans more cursive, with single-story shapes and looped descenders that add rhythmic movement across words.
Works best for short-to-medium headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and branding elements that benefit from a handmade brush voice. The compact, slanted forms can add momentum to social graphics and event promos, while the distressed texture helps evoke a tactile, printed aesthetic in display contexts.
The overall tone feels handmade and informal, with a lively, slightly gritty character that suggests marker or brush signage. Its texture and motion read as approachable and energetic, leaning toward vintage craft and street-poster sensibilities rather than polished corporate typography.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with visible pressure changes and imperfect ink edges, delivering an organic, distressed display style. The intent appears to balance readability with expressive texture, suitable for themed designs that want warmth and grit without becoming illegible.
Letterspacing appears naturally uneven in a way that supports the hand-drawn impression, and the texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes where the roughness reads as intentional grain. Numerals match the same brush rhythm and irregular finish, keeping headings and callouts stylistically consistent.
