A rough brush-pen style with lively, slanted strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms show high stroke modulation, with tapered terminals and occasional chunky ink pools that create a dry-brush texture. Curves are slightly wobbly and organic, counters are irregular, and baseline behavior feels loosely controlled, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm. Capitals are bold and gestural, while lowercase stays open and readable with simple, single-storey forms where expected; figures are similarly hand-drawn and slightly varied in width.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where the brush texture and irregular edges can read clearly—posters, titles, packaging callouts, social graphics, and promotional materials. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set at generous sizes and with comfortable spacing to avoid the distressed details filling in.
The overall tone is informal and expressive, with a scrappy, crafty character that feels spontaneous rather than polished. Its distressed brush texture adds a gritty, street-poster energy while still reading as friendly and approachable.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted lettering with a deliberately worn, printed texture—balancing expressive gesture with enough structure for practical display readability.
Texture appears embedded in both outlines and interiors, producing a consistent worn-ink effect across the set. Stroke joins can look slightly frayed, and some shapes show subtle asymmetry that enhances the handcrafted personality, especially in rounded letters and the numerals.
