Keywords: posters, packaging, headlines, branding, social media, handmade, rugged, casual, energetic, expressive, handwritten feel, rough print, display impact, human texture, brushy, textured, dry-brush, slanted, lively.
A slanted, brush-script style with a dry, textured stroke that shows uneven edges and occasional ink breakup. Strokes taper naturally with medium contrast, and letterforms lean forward with quick, handwritten momentum. The rhythm is irregular in a deliberate way—some glyphs are more compact while others open up—adding a raw, spontaneous feel. Counters are generally small and shapes are simplified, prioritizing gestural motion over formal calligraphy.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where texture and motion can be appreciated—posters, album/cover art, packaging callouts, event promos, and punchy brand marks. It can work for subheads or quotes in editorial layouts when used with ample size and spacing, but the distressed texture makes it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys an informal, street-level energy—like quick marker or brush lettering on a poster or package. Its roughened texture and brisk slant create a confident, slightly gritty tone that feels human and imperfect rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic fast, brush-driven handwriting with a purposely rough print quality. The goal appears to be an expressive, imperfect script that adds personality and grit to display typography while staying legible in impactful phrases.
The texture reads as consistent across letters and numerals, suggesting intentional distress rather than random noise. Capitals carry a bold, sign-lettering presence, while lowercase maintains a loose cursive flow with occasional sharper joins and angular turns. The overall color on the page is dark and lively, with stroke breaks that become more noticeable at smaller sizes.
