A slanted, handwritten italic with an irregular, brush-pen stroke that shows subtle texture and worn edges. Strokes taper and swell with a moderately calligraphic rhythm, producing uneven terminals and occasional ink-like roughness. Letterforms are narrow and loosely constructed, with a mix of open counters and quick, simplified joins; capitals are tall and slightly angular while lowercase maintains a flowing cursive feel without full connectivity. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with light, airy forms and noticeable variability in stroke endings.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display copy where a handmade, slightly rough texture adds personality—posters, cover lines, quote graphics, labels, and lifestyle packaging. It can also work for headers and pull quotes in editorial layouts when paired with a clean text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels personal and spontaneous, like quick marker or brush notes with a slightly weathered finish. Its imperfect edges and lively motion read as human and informal, leaning creative and handcrafted rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a lightly worn print/ink effect, balancing expressive motion with readable letterforms. The intent seems to provide an energetic, informal script-like voice for contemporary display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and variable, reinforcing the handwritten character. The distressed texture is consistent across glyphs, adding grit without overwhelming legibility, especially at larger sizes.
