A slanted handwritten script with quick, brush-pen construction and visibly roughened edges. Strokes show natural pressure changes and occasional tapering, with small wobble and irregular ink texture that creates a lightly distressed, analog feel. Letterforms are loosely connected in rhythm but generally read as separate cursive-style shapes, with open counters and a relaxed baseline that gently bounces. Capitals are tall and narrow with simple, gestural forms, while lowercase has compact bodies and long ascenders/descenders; spacing is uneven in a natural, handwritten way.
Best suited to display roles where a handmade, textured voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, branding accents, album/cover art, and social graphics. It works especially well for short phrases, titles, and quotes where the organic stroke texture can be appreciated.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone—like fast marker notes or a casual signature—tempered by a worn, printed-on-paper texture. It feels approachable and creative, with a slightly nostalgic, handmade character rather than polished calligraphy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual brush handwriting while adding a lightly weathered surface that suggests ink on textured paper or imperfect reproduction. The intent appears to be expressive legibility with an intentionally rough, analog finish for themed or mood-driven design.
Numerals keep the same handwritten energy and textured stroke edges, pairing well with the letterforms for headings and short lines. The overall texture is consistent across glyphs, making the distressed effect feel intentional rather than random.
