A fast, slanted handwritten style with a brush-pen feel and visibly uneven, dry-stroke texture. Strokes taper and swell subtly, with rough edges and occasional breaks that create a worn, ink-on-paper look. Letterforms are narrow-to-open depending on the glyph, with bouncy baseline behavior and irregular spacing that keeps the rhythm lively rather than uniform. The overall construction favors quick, angular joins and simplified shapes over polished calligraphic symmetry.
Best suited to display use where texture and motion can be appreciated—posters, social graphics, packaging accents, apparel graphics, and branding elements that want a personal, gritty signature. It can work for short headlines or pull quotes, but extended small-size text may lose clarity due to the roughened edges and irregular rhythm.
The font reads as informal and expressive, with a slightly gritty, rebellious tone. Its textured strokes and quick motion suggest spontaneity—more like a marker signature or rough note than a refined script. The slant and energetic rhythm add urgency and personality, making it feel human and unvarnished.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush handwriting with intentional imperfections, emphasizing speed, character, and a tactile ink texture. The goal appears to be an authentic, handmade voice that feels lively and slightly weathered rather than clean or typographically rigid.
Uppercase forms lean toward single-stroke, handwritten capitals with open counters and abrupt terminals, while lowercase maintains a sketchy, lightly connected cursive impression without becoming fully script-like. Numerals share the same rough, brushed texture and forward motion, helping mixed text feel cohesive. The distressed stroke texture is a defining feature and will become more pronounced at larger sizes and in high-contrast applications.
