A slanted, handwritten-style face with a dry-brush texture that produces broken edges, bristly terminals, and occasional ink skips. Strokes show a calligraphic, pen-like modulation with tapered starts and finishes, and a lively baseline rhythm that varies slightly from glyph to glyph. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in structure but consistently angled, with narrow internal counters and a generally tight, efficient silhouette. Numerals follow the same textured stroke behavior, with open curves and slightly irregular contours that maintain legibility while keeping the hand-rendered feel.
Best suited to short display settings where the textured stroke and handwritten motion can be appreciated—posters, flyers, album/cover art, apparel graphics, and packaging or label work with a handmade aesthetic. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a clean text face for contrast.
The overall tone is gritty and human, suggesting quick marker or brush lettering used in the real world rather than polished typography. Its roughened texture adds urgency and attitude, reading as informal, creative, and slightly rugged—more zine or street-poster than corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush or marker writing while baking in a worn, printed texture. It aims for expressive impact and a crafted, imperfect surface rather than typographic neutrality.
Spacing appears deliberately uneven in a naturalistic way, with some glyphs occupying more visual width than others and occasional angular joins that feel carved by fast strokes. The distressed texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
