A slanted brush-script style with high-contrast strokes and a visibly dry, textured edge. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with lively, tapered terminals, occasional ink breaks, and slightly uneven stroke density that mimics marker or brush drag. The rhythm is quick and gestural rather than geometric, with simplified joins and open counters that keep the texture from collapsing in larger words. Numerals follow the same drawn, slightly irregular construction with smooth curves interrupted by roughened contours.
Works best for headlines, logos, and short statements where the textured brush character can be appreciated. It fits packaging, event posters, social media graphics, and casual brand marks that benefit from a handcrafted, energetic tone; for longer text, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The texture and energetic slant give it a handmade, informal voice with a bit of grit. It reads as confident and personable—more street-poster and craft-label than polished corporate script—adding motion and attitude to short phrases.
Designed to simulate fast brush lettering with a dry-ink texture, combining readable script forms with deliberate roughness for a more tactile, human finish. The goal appears to be adding personality and motion while maintaining enough structure for display use.
Uppercase forms behave like informal script capitals rather than formal swashes, keeping spacing compact and word shapes punchy. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across the set, creating a cohesive printed-ink feel that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
