A slanted, handwritten script with brush-pen construction and visibly irregular edges. Strokes show textured breakup and occasional ink drag, producing a worn, dry-brush look rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are compact and quick, with variable stroke width and slightly inconsistent terminal shapes that reinforce the hand-made rhythm. Capitals are simplified and gestural, while the lowercase maintains a loose cursive flow with minimal, intermittent connecting behavior and a generally tight vertical profile.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where the brush texture and lively motion can remain legible: posters, headlines, social graphics, packaging callouts, and branding accents. It can also work for quotes or titles when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve the distressed details.
The font conveys an informal, human tone with a restless, kinetic character. Its roughened brush texture adds grit and immediacy, suggesting spontaneity and a slightly rebellious, street-notebook attitude rather than polished elegance.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush handwriting with intentional wear and texture, prioritizing expressive impact over uniformity. Its construction aims to deliver a casual script feel with a gritty, printed-through-the-bristles finish for attention-grabbing display work.
Texture appears integrated into the strokes, creating speckled interiors and frayed contours that will read more strongly at larger sizes. The slant and compact proportions create forward motion, while the uneven stroke endings and occasional thickened downstrokes add emphasis and personality.
