A slanted, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and visibly textured stroke edges. Letterforms are built from quick, tapered strokes with modest thick–thin modulation and occasional ink buildup, creating a slightly uneven rhythm. The capitals are tall and looping while the lowercase is compact and simplified, with short extenders and open, airy counters. Overall spacing is fluid and the outlines retain a natural wobble that reads as intentionally imperfect rather than geometric.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging labels, social graphics, album or book covers, and branding accents. It works well for headings, pull quotes, and signature-style highlights, especially when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for body text.
The font conveys an informal, expressive tone—like a personal note written with a worn marker or dry brush. Its roughened texture and lively movement add a nostalgic, handcrafted character that feels approachable and a bit rugged.
Designed to emulate fast, brush-written lettering with a purposely worn print/ink texture, balancing readability with a handcrafted, imperfect finish for expressive display typography.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, suggesting a deliberate distressed treatment rather than random noise. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with smooth curves and occasional tapering terminals, helping the set feel cohesive in short display settings.
