A slanted, brush-script style with high-contrast strokes that shift from fine hairlines to heavier downstrokes. The letterforms are narrow and lively, with a handwritten rhythm and slightly irregular widths that keep lines of text moving. Edges show intentional texture and roughened interiors, creating a worn, printed-through feel rather than clean vector outlines. Uppercase forms read as simplified, cursive caps, while the lowercase retains a compact, short-bodied look with quick joins and tapered terminals.
Well-suited to short, prominent text where the brush texture can be appreciated—logos, product labels, poster headlines, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work for invitations or lifestyle collateral when a casual, handcrafted script is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details remain clear.
The overall tone feels human and spontaneous—like quick marker or dry-brush lettering—with a slightly weathered, retro finish. Its texture adds a crafty, tactile character that can suggest analog printing, packaging, or hand-lettered signage.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker lettering while adding a controlled, repeatable distressed texture for a vintage-leaning, tactile finish in display typography.
Texture is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, with occasional heavier blotting in curves and counters that reinforces the distressed impression. The figures are similarly brush-formed and slightly uneven, matching the informal script voice in running text.
