A slanted, hand-rendered roman with a wiry, high-contrast stroke and visibly rough, dry-ink edges. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with irregular stroke endings, occasional wobble in verticals, and subtly uneven curves that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are generally open and simple, while joins and terminals feel brushed-on rather than mechanically drawn, giving the set a lightly worn, printed-by-hand look across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging, café menus, labels, and brand marks for handmade or rustic products. It can work for punchy pull quotes or promotional copy, but the distressed edges and high contrast make it more comfortable at larger sizes than in long, small body text.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick brush lettering or a well-used stamp. Its texture and irregularities add a tactile, human quality that reads as crafty and slightly nostalgic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering with lightly weathered printing, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect surface. Its narrow, slanted forms help it feel energetic and space-efficient while still delivering a distinctive, tactile character.
The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional: edges look abraded and slightly mottled, with small variations in stroke thickness that reinforce a handmade impression. In text, the italic slant and narrow proportions increase pace and energy, while the rough texture remains prominent at display sizes.
