A slanted, brush-script style with high-contrast strokes and a noticeably dry, textured edge that creates broken contours and speckled interiors. Letterforms are narrow and lively, with variable stroke pressure and a quick, handwritten rhythm; joins and terminals often taper to sharp points or frayed ends. The lowercase reads as a connected cursive in places but remains irregular, with compact counters and a very low x-height relative to the ascenders and capitals. Numerals and capitals keep the same brushy construction, with uneven ink coverage that reinforces the distressed, hand-rendered feel.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and motion are an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging labels, social graphics, and merch. It can also work for lifestyle branding or editorial pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the brush detail.
The font conveys an informal, handmade tone—energetic and slightly rough, like marker or brush lettering on textured paper. Its dry-brush distress adds a vintage, craft-forward character that feels personable and imperfect rather than polished.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush calligraphy with a dry-ink, worn print look, balancing expressive script movement with a deliberately roughened finish for character and atmosphere.
Texture intensity is consistent across the alphabet, so the distressed effect becomes a core part of the silhouette rather than an occasional accent. The tight proportions and brisk slant support fast, flowing word shapes, while the rough edges can reduce clarity at very small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
