A slanted, brush-script style with thick, high-contrast strokes and visibly uneven edges that suggest dry-brush ink and rough printing. Letterforms are built from quick, tapered strokes with occasional blots and interior voids, creating an intentionally imperfect texture. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the line a lively rhythm, while rounded joins and soft terminals keep the overall silhouette fluid rather than rigid.
Best suited for short, prominent text where the textured strokes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, album or event graphics, packaging, and apparel branding. It can add a strong handcrafted accent in logos and social graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for supporting copy.
The font feels bold and human, with a gritty, street-poster energy and a casual handwritten confidence. Its distressed texture reads as worn-in and analog, adding attitude and motion without becoming chaotic.
Designed to deliver a punchy brush-lettered look with deliberate distressing, capturing the feel of fast marker or brush calligraphy transferred through imperfect print. The goal appears to be high-impact display typography that reads as handmade, energetic, and slightly weathered.
Uppercase forms behave like energetic display caps with simplified, brushy construction, while the lowercase leans more fully into cursive shapes for a more connected, handwritten impression. The numerals share the same rough stroke texture and slanted momentum, keeping mixed text visually cohesive.
