A slanted, brush-written script with compact proportions and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms show a dry-brush texture with slight ink breaks, rough terminals, and subtle wobble in curves, giving the outlines a worn, printed-by-hand look. Strokes are generally heavy with modest contrast, and spacing feels lively and uneven in a controlled way, creating a natural handwritten rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, prominent text where texture and motion are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and expressive branding. It can also work for quotes or subheads when set with generous tracking and line spacing to keep the rough edges from visually clumping.
The overall tone is gritty and expressive—more street-poster and handmade sign than polished calligraphy. Its textured strokes and quick, confident forms convey urgency and attitude, with a relaxed, approachable informality.
Designed to capture the immediacy of a brush marker or paintbrush, preserving natural imperfections for a deliberately weathered, human-made feel. The goal appears to be high-impact, characterful typography that reads quickly while maintaining a tactile, distressed surface.
Uppercase characters read as simplified, brushy caps that pair naturally with the more cursive lowercase, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive. Numerals match the same rough, hand-painted finish, staying legible while retaining the same textured personality.
