An italic, handwritten display face with a dry-brush texture and visibly broken edges. Strokes show quick, calligraphic movement with uneven pressure, producing medium contrast and occasional tapering terminals. Letterforms are compact and right-leaning, with narrow proportions and lively width variation across glyphs. Curves are slightly angular and irregular, and the texture suggests ink drag or worn printing rather than smooth outlines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and motion are desirable—posters, album/cover art, event promos, packaging callouts, and social graphics. It can also work for quotes or subheads when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to keep the textured strokes clear.
The overall tone is informal and spirited, with a gritty, lived-in energy. The roughness reads as authentic and handmade, lending a slightly rebellious, street-level confidence while still feeling approachable and playful in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic fast brush lettering with intentional wear: a handmade script-like italic built for expressive branding and thematic display work where imperfections and texture are part of the message.
Rhythm is bouncy and human, with small inconsistencies in stroke endings and counters that enhance the distressed character. Capitals have a quick, signpainter-like construction, while lowercase remains open and sketchy, reinforcing the casual voice.
