A slanted brush-script with high-contrast strokes that shift between a pointed, hairline entry and fuller downstrokes. Letterforms are loosely connected in rhythm but generally drawn as separate, flowing shapes, with rounded terminals and occasional sharp flicks. The edges show a dry-brush texture with small breaks and speckling, giving strokes a worn, ink-drag character. Proportions feel compact and upright-leaning, with a relatively small x-height and lively ascenders/descenders that add vertical movement.
Works best for short, prominent text where texture and movement are desirable—brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, event flyers, and social graphics. It can also suit pull quotes or section headers when set with generous spacing to keep the distressed detailing from crowding.
The overall tone is casual and human, like quick marker or brush lettering made in one take. The textured stroke edges add a slightly gritty, artisanal feel, balancing friendliness with a bit of raw energy. It reads as approachable and expressive rather than polished or formal.
Designed to emulate quick, natural brush lettering with visible ink texture, aiming for an authentic handmade look that feels energetic and contemporary. The deliberate roughness and stroke variation suggest a focus on character and tactility over pristine uniformity.
Capitals are simplified and gesture-driven, functioning well as bold initials, while the lowercase maintains a consistent handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with open forms and textured stroke endings that keep them visually aligned with the letters.
