A slanted, brush-pen script with sharply tapered entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are compact and tightly drawn, with narrow bowls and counters, and a quick, gestural rhythm that feels written in one pass. The stroke edges show consistent roughening and occasional ink breakup, producing a textured silhouette rather than clean vector contours. Capitals are tall and slightly flamboyant, while the lowercase sits low with compact ascenders/descenders and a distinctly small x-height; numerals follow the same cursive, calligraphic logic.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings such as posters, logo lockups, product labels, menus, and editorial headlines where the brush texture can be appreciated. It can also add an analog, handcrafted accent to pull quotes or social graphics, especially at sizes large enough for the roughened edges and contrast to remain clear.
The overall tone is lively and human, balancing elegance with a worn, analog grit. It suggests vintage signage, hand-lettered packaging, and energetic headlines where personality matters more than polish.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering with a deliberately weathered imprint, combining calligraphic movement with a printed, timeworn finish. The condensed, energetic forms aim to deliver strong personality in compact widths, suited to attention-grabbing display typography.
Texture is present across the full character set, so the distressed effect reads as an intentional surface quality rather than isolated randomness. Spacing appears relatively tight and the slant is consistent, helping longer lines keep a cohesive, flowing line despite the rough edges.
