An italic, brush-script style with lively stroke modulation and a dry-brush texture that produces broken edges and occasional interior voids. Letterforms are loosely connected in rhythm but remain mostly unjoined, with a consistent rightward slant and quick, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced contrast between broad downstrokes and finer connecting motions, and spacing varies with the natural gesture of the writing. Overall proportions feel compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and tall, prominent ascenders and capitals.
Well-suited to display typography where a handmade, textured script can carry the visual message: posters, headlines, logo marks, packaging accents, apparel graphics, and social media creatives. It also works for short quotes and punchy callouts where expressive rhythm matters more than long-form readability.
The font conveys an informal, punchy tone—like fast marker or brush lettering used for emphasis. Its distressed texture adds a rugged, imperfect character that feels human, spontaneous, and a bit rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with a deliberately worn print/ink breakup, balancing legibility with an expressive, textured surface. It aims to deliver a dynamic, hand-crafted look that feels immediate and personal.
Capitals are bold and attention-getting, while lowercase forms maintain a cursive flow that reads best at larger sizes. The rough texture is prominent enough that fine details can soften in small text or low-resolution output, but it adds strong personality in display settings.
