A slanted, brush-pen style script with compressed proportions and lively, irregular stroke edges. Strokes show noticeable pressure changes and occasional dry-brush texture, producing slightly rough contours and small breaks at joins and terminals. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel but remain largely monolinear in construction with tapered starts and finishes, creating an energetic rhythm. Spacing is uneven in a natural, handwritten way, and the numerals follow the same quick, inked gesture with simple, open shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where personality matters: posters, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and social media headlines. It can also work for album/cover art and event promotions, especially when paired with a cleaner sans for supporting copy. The textured strokes and lively spacing are most effective at larger sizes where the brush detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is informal and human, like fast marker lettering on paper. The worn, ink-drag texture adds a gritty, lived-in character that reads as vintage or street-level rather than polished. It feels approachable and expressive, with just enough roughness to suggest authenticity and motion.
This font appears designed to capture quick, italic brush handwriting with intentionally imperfect edges, balancing legibility with a tactile, printed-ink feel. The goal seems to be an expressive display script that conveys immediacy and character without requiring ornate letterforms.
Capitals are bold and prominent with sweeping entry strokes and simplified internal structure, helping headlines feel punchy even when the baseline rhythm stays loose. Round letters keep open counters, while angled letters lean into sharp diagonals that enhance speed and emphasis. The texture remains consistent across letters and figures, supporting a cohesive distressed handwriting look.
