A slanted, brush-pen script with connected, calligraphic motion and visibly uneven stroke edges that suggest a dry brush or rough marker. Strokes show a mix of tapered entries and exits with occasional blunt terminals, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly scratchy texture. Letterforms are compact and condensed overall, with narrow counters and quick, angular turns; capitals are tall and prominent, while lowercase stays compact with short ascenders and descenders relative to the cap height. Spacing is irregular in a natural handwritten way, and the numerals follow the same brisk, drawn-through construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, branding headlines, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and social media overlays. It can work in short quotations or subheads where a handmade, energetic voice is desired, but the narrow forms and textured edges favor larger sizes over long passages.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—quick, confident, and slightly rugged. Its roughened edges add a tactile, handmade feel that reads as energetic rather than polished, leaning toward contemporary brush lettering and streetwise craft.
Designed to mimic fast brush handwriting with a controlled italic slant and deliberate roughness, balancing readability with a handcrafted, distressed personality. The goal appears to be expressive display typography that feels personal and energetic rather than formally scripted.
Uppercase forms feel more calligraphic and display-like, while the lowercase remains more compact and note-like, creating a strong hierarchy in mixed-case text. The texture is consistent across letters and figures, helping the distressed character feel intentional rather than accidental.
