A slanted handwritten script with a dry-brush feel and irregular, slightly scratchy edges. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle thick–thin modulation, and the rhythm is brisk, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning in their construction, with occasional sharp angles and quick terminals that look like lifted pen or brush exits. Spacing appears naturally uneven in a controlled way, keeping a consistent handwritten flow while retaining distinct character shapes across A–Z, a–z, and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where its handwritten texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, social media graphics, and branding accents. It can also work for packaging and editorial pull quotes when used at moderate-to-large sizes. For longer text, it’s most effective as a highlight or secondary voice rather than continuous body copy.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a quick, human cadence that reads like a confident marker note or signature line. The dry texture and slight instability add grit and attitude, making it feel more streetwise than polished calligraphic. It communicates motion and immediacy rather than formality.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick brush or marker handwriting with a slightly worn, dry application. The intent appears to balance expressiveness and readability, delivering a lively personal voice while maintaining recognizable letterforms across the full alphanumeric set.
Uppercase letters read like gestural caps rather than formal titling forms, pairing comfortably with the more delicate lowercase. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open curves and simplified constructions that match the fast-stroke aesthetic. Texture is consistent across the set, giving a cohesive distressed impression without collapsing legibility.
