A slanted, brush-script style with high-contrast strokes that shift from fine hairlines to heavier downstrokes. Forms are compact and lively, with a short-looking lowercase body and quick, tapered terminals. The stroke edges show visible texture and roughness, creating a slightly broken, ink-drag effect across many characters. Capitals are gestural and somewhat standalone, while lowercase letters keep a cursive rhythm with occasional joins implied by entry/exit strokes rather than continuous connections.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, bold headlines, album or event promotions, and packaging where an expressive handwritten voice is desirable. It can work for short pull quotes or emphasis in editorial layouts, but the textured edges and compact forms are more effective in larger sizes than in dense, small text.
The overall tone feels spontaneous and human—like fast marker or dry-brush lettering captured in one pass. The distressed texture adds grit and urgency, giving it a streetwise, handcrafted attitude rather than a polished calligraphic formality.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with intentional wear and ink texture, balancing legibility with an energetic, imperfect surface. The intent appears to be an attention-grabbing script that feels personal and gritty rather than refined.
Texture is not uniform: some letters appear more abraded than others, which increases the natural, analog feel. Numerals follow the same italic brush logic, with open curves and tapered starts/finishes that read best at display sizes where the rough edges can be appreciated.
