A slanted, brush-script style with tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that mimics a fast, pressure-sensitive marker. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel (even when separated), with sweeping entry/exit strokes, sharp terminals, and occasional ink-break texture that produces a worn, dry-brush edge. Caps are tall and assertive with simplified, calligraphic structures, while the lowercase is compact with a modest x-height and quick, rhythmic curves; numerals follow the same brisk, handwritten construction.
Well-suited to display settings where expressive lettering is the focal point—posters, event promotions, album/playlist artwork, packaging accents, apparel graphics, and social content. It works best at headline sizes where the brush texture and contrast can be clearly appreciated.
The font reads as confident and spontaneous, like hand-lettering done in one energetic pass. Its roughened texture adds a gritty, streetwise edge, balancing friendliness with attitude and a sense of motion.
Designed to deliver a fast, handwritten brush signature with a deliberately rough, ink-worn finish. The goal appears to be high-impact display typography that feels personal and energetic rather than polished or mechanical.
The distressed texture is most visible in heavier downstrokes and bowls, creating intermittent speckling and slight unevenness that can intensify at larger sizes. Stroke joins and counters stay open enough for display use, while the slant and strong rhythm help maintain momentum across longer words.
