A slanted, handwritten brush style with compact proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show visible texture and broken edges, with occasional ink build-up and dry-brush gaps that give a worn, printed feel. Letterforms mix sharp, angled joins with rounded loops, and terminals often taper or fray rather than ending cleanly. Spacing and widths are intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an informal, hand-drawn construction while staying readable in connected script-like flow.
Works best for short to medium display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, cover art, labels, and packaging with a handmade or retro theme. It also suits apparel graphics, quotes, and social media headlines that benefit from an expressive, imperfect brush look. For small sizes or dense paragraphs, the textured edges and irregular rhythm may reduce clarity compared to cleaner scripts.
The overall tone feels personal and energetic, with a gritty, street-level authenticity. Its rough texture and quick movement suggest spontaneity, making it feel more like a marker or brush note than polished calligraphy. The impression leans vintage and handcrafted, with a slightly rebellious edge.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast brush lettering while adding a controlled, worn texture that reads as tactile and analog. The goal appears to be an expressive script that feels human and lived-in, suitable for branding and display work that wants character more than neutrality.
Capitals are more flamboyant and gestural, while lowercase forms are simpler and more compact, producing a strong upper/lowercase contrast in presence. Numerals follow the same brushed texture and slant, matching the letterforms rather than behaving as neutral text figures. The distressed edges are consistent enough to read as a deliberate aesthetic rather than accidental noise.
