A connected, brush-script style with assertive, swelled downstrokes and noticeably tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively forward rhythm. The letterforms are rounded and compact with tight internal counters, and the overall silhouette stays bold and punchy across the alphabet. A consistent distressed texture appears both along edges and within strokes, mimicking dry brush or worn ink transfer while preserving clear character shapes. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with simple, legible forms and the same ink-wear patterning.
Best suited to short display text such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, labels, and brand marks where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated. It also works well for themed promotions and event materials that benefit from a rugged, handcrafted script voice.
The font projects a handmade, vintage-leaning personality with a rough-printed edge. Its textured strokes add grit and authenticity, while the bouncy script shapes keep the tone upbeat and informal.
Designed to evoke bold brush lettering with an intentionally worn ink texture, combining an expressive script rhythm with a printed, weathered finish for high-impact display typography.
Stroke texture is prominent and can read as intentional weathering at display sizes; at smaller sizes the interior speckling may visually fill in counters. Capitals and lowercase share a cohesive script construction, with frequent joining behavior and smooth, looped terminals that reinforce the hand-lettered feel.
