A slanted, handwritten script with brush-pen construction and a dry, textured edge that creates a lightly worn print effect. Strokes show noticeable contrast between hairline upstrokes and fuller downstrokes, with occasional tapering terminals and subtle wobble that keeps the rhythm lively. Letterforms are loosely connected in word settings, with variable stroke pressure and slightly irregular contours; spacing is open enough to keep phrases readable despite the texture. Capitals are simple and upright-leaning with calligraphic curves, while lowercase forms favor rounded loops and quick, gestural joins.
Well-suited for short-form display use such as branding marks, packaging callouts, posters, and social media graphics where a handcrafted voice is desired. It can work for brief phrases or subheads when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing, letting the texture read clearly.
The overall tone feels personal and energetic, like quick marker lettering on paper with a touch of grit. The texture adds a handmade, imperfect character that reads as relaxed and creative rather than formal or polished.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, natural brush handwriting while preserving enough consistency for repeatable typographic use. The added abrasion and ink-dryness effect aims to give layouts a tactile, lived-in feel without needing custom lettering.
The distressed stroke texture is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, producing small breaks and roughened edges that become more pronounced at smaller sizes or in dense text. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with open curves and tapered starts/finishes that match the script rhythm.
