A slanted, brush-script style with brisk, handwritten rhythm and visibly textured strokes. Letterforms show high-contrast behavior—broad, ink-heavy downstrokes paired with finer upstrokes—plus occasional tapering terminals that feel like a real brush lifting off the page. Edges are intentionally rough and slightly broken, with interior speckling and uneven ink coverage that creates a worn, printed-from-ink look. Spacing is compact and lively, and the forms lean toward narrow, upright loops and quick joins, producing a cohesive, fast-written texture in words and lines.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings where the textured brush character can be appreciated: headlines, posters, event promos, branding marks, packaging callouts, and social graphics. It can also suit pull quotes or subheads when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and human, balancing elegance with grit. It reads like confident, quick signage or packaging lettering—friendly and contemporary, with a touch of raw, street-level energy from the dry-brush texture.
Designed to emulate energetic brush lettering with a deliberately worn ink footprint, aiming for a handcrafted feel that remains bold and legible at display sizes. The intent appears to be a modern, expressive script that adds personality and tactile texture to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent slant and brush logic, and numerals follow the same textured, calligraphic stroke pattern. The roughness is systematic rather than random, so the distressed effect feels intentional and repeatable across the set.
