A rough, hand-rendered italic with brush-like strokes and visibly distressed edges. Letterforms are slightly condensed and lively, with uneven stroke thickness, occasional dry-brush gaps, and irregular terminals that create a textured silhouette. Curves (C, O, S) feel loosely drawn and organic, while straighter strokes show wobble and tapering, producing a jittery rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to an informal, hand-painted flow in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited to display applications where texture and personality are desired, such as posters, album/cover art, event promos, packaging accents, and bold social graphics. It can work for short bursts of text—titles, pull quotes, or taglines—when a raw, handcrafted look is more important than neutral readability.
The texture and slanted momentum give it a gritty, DIY attitude with a casual, spirited tone. It reads as expressive and imperfect in a deliberate way, suggesting hand-made signage, zines, or rough print processes rather than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to emulate fast brush lettering and worn ink marks, combining an energetic italic slant with deliberate distress. The goal appears to be creating an expressive, gritty display face that communicates authenticity and edge through texture and irregularity.
Caps are bold and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase maintains the same rough texture and forward lean for cohesive text setting. Numerals carry the same distressed, brushy construction, keeping a consistent voice across alphanumerics. The overall effect is most pronounced at display sizes where the ragged contours and ink texture remain clearly visible.
