A slanted brush-script with thick, high-contrast strokes and visibly textured edges, as if made with a dry brush or marker on rough paper. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel but mostly drawn as separate glyphs, with variable stroke widths and slight wobble that keeps the rhythm lively. Curves are full and fast, counters can appear partially filled by ink drag, and terminals taper or fray rather than ending cleanly. The lowercase is compact with relatively small x-height, while capitals are larger and more gestural; figures match the same painted, irregular construction.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, brand marks, product packaging, event promos, and punchy headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or social graphics, but the distressed stroke detail will be clearer at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and spontaneous, combining a confident brush signature feel with a worn, streetwise texture. It reads as informal and human, suggesting speed, motion, and a bit of grit rather than polish or precision.
The design intention appears to be a fast, brush-written script that prioritizes impact and authenticity, using roughened stroke texture to add a distressed, tactile finish. It aims to deliver a lively handwritten voice with strong contrast and momentum for attention-grabbing display typography.
Texture is a defining feature: many strokes show broken edges, uneven inking, and occasional internal voids that create a distressed print effect. Spacing appears intentionally organic, with varied widths and a slightly bouncy baseline that enhances the handwritten character.
