A brush-script display face with textured, distressed strokes that mimic dry ink and worn printing. Letterforms are upright with a lively, hand-drawn rhythm, showing noticeable contrast between thick downstrokes and thin hairlines. Terminals are tapered and occasionally blunt, and the outlines carry intentional irregularities and speckling that create a rough, tactile surface. The set mixes cursive lowercase with more print-like, decorative capitals, producing uneven widths and a slightly quirky baseline flow in text.
Works best for short, expressive setting such as posters, packaging, product labels, headlines, and brand marks that benefit from an artisanal or vintage feel. It also suits quotes, invitations, and social graphics where texture is part of the visual identity, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels handmade and nostalgic, like lettering from a well-used sign, a stamped label, or a craft-made package. Its roughened texture and brushy movement add warmth and personality, leaning informal and slightly whimsical rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the character of hand-painted brush lettering with a deliberately worn, imperfect finish. The goal appears to be high-impact display typography that feels tactile and human, evoking analog ink, craft, and aged print artifacts.
Capitals read as more emblematic and standalone, while the lowercase connects more naturally for word shapes; this mixed behavior reinforces a casual, hand-lettered impression. The distressed texture is prominent across letters and numerals, so the face tends to look darker and more graphic where strokes overlap or thicken.
