A slanted, hand-rendered letterform with dry-brush texture and visibly rough, broken edges. Strokes show moderate modulation and a slightly jittery baseline, with tapered terminals and occasional ink drag that creates small gaps and frayed contours. Shapes stay broadly simple and open, prioritizing quick, gestural construction over precise geometry, while maintaining consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, short headlines, packaging, event graphics, album artwork, and handmade or craft-oriented branding. The distressed edges and brush texture can lose clarity at very small sizes, so it will typically perform better from medium sizes upward.
The overall tone is expressive and human, with a worn, tactile quality that suggests marker or brush lettering on a porous surface. It feels lively and approachable, with just enough roughness to read as rugged and authentic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering with natural imperfections, delivering a tactile, distressed look that feels personal and energetic. It aims to provide a ready-made hand-lettered voice for expressive titles and themed graphics.
Capital forms are compact and upright in structure but consistently slanted as a set, and lowercase shows a handwritten mix of rounded and angular joins. Numerals follow the same brushed treatment, with slightly uneven curves and variable stroke endings that reinforce the organic, printed-by-hand impression.
