A slanted, handwritten display face with a dry-brush texture and visibly irregular stroke edges. Forms are narrow and lively, with slightly uneven baselines, variable stroke pressure, and occasional tapering terminals that feel drawn in real time. Counters are compact, curves are loosely controlled, and joins can look broken or scumbled, reinforcing a worn, ink-on-paper character. Capitals read as simplified, calligraphic constructions, while the lowercase stays small and quick, with ascenders taking visual prominence and numerals following the same rough, hand-inked rhythm.
Best used for posters, headlines, cover titling, and packaging where a handmade, distressed voice is desired. It suits branding moments that want grit and authenticity, and it can work well in short phrases, pull quotes, or label-style applications where the texture can be appreciated at display sizes.
The overall tone is personal and dramatic, like hurried signage or a weathered note written with a brush pen running low on ink. Its rough texture adds grit and urgency, while the italic movement keeps the voice energetic and informal.
The design appears intended to emulate rough brush lettering and worn print, capturing the spontaneity of hand-drawn strokes and the imperfections of ink drag. It prioritizes character and motion over typographic regularity, aiming for an expressive, thematic look.
Texture is a key feature: edges wobble, stroke width fluctuates, and some letters show slight gaps or ragged interior contours, which will become more pronounced at larger sizes. Spacing appears naturally irregular, and the narrow forms can cluster in dense text, making it better suited to short runs than long passages.
