A slanted brush-script display face with compact proportions and punchy, high-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from tapered, pressure-driven marks with slightly uneven curves and lively, handwritten rhythm. Edges and counters show deliberate texture and speckling, creating a rough-printed, ink-on-paper feel while keeping a consistent baseline and overall pacing. Terminals are mostly rounded or sharply tapered, and many glyphs lean forward with a quick, gestural cadence.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, logos, product packaging, headlines, and promotional graphics where the textured brush character can be appreciated. It can also work for apparel and sticker-style designs, but is less ideal for long passages or small UI text where the rough texture may reduce clarity.
The texture and brush energy give it a gritty, handcrafted tone that feels informal and confident. It reads like expressive signage or a bold marker note—warm, human, and a little raw rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with intentional wear, combining a bold handwritten script structure with a roughened ink texture for a more tactile, analog look.
The distressed texture is prominent at larger sizes and can visually fill in at smaller sizes, especially in tight joins and enclosed shapes. Numerals and capitals keep the same brush logic as the lowercase, supporting a cohesive, poster-like voice.
