A slanted brush-script style with compact proportions and a lively, hand-painted rhythm. Strokes are thick and taper irregularly, with visibly textured interiors and rough, broken edges that mimic dry-brush ink and worn printing. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel even when set as separate glyphs, with rounded turns, simplified terminals, and slightly uneven stroke distribution that enhances the handmade character. Numerals follow the same painted logic, with open counters and soft, gestural curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, branding marks, labels, album/cover art, and apparel graphics where the brush texture can be appreciated. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or section headers, especially in designs aiming for a handcrafted or retro-printed feel.
The overall tone is informal and expressive, blending a friendly handwritten voice with a gritty, weathered texture. It reads like quick signage or brush lettering pulled from retro packaging, conveying momentum and a slightly rebellious, streetwise edge.
Designed to capture the speed and personality of brush lettering while adding a worn, dry-ink texture for a more tactile, printed-on-paper impression. The goal appears to be an attention-grabbing display face that feels handmade, imperfect, and energetic rather than polished or formal.
Spacing and shapes feel intentionally irregular, creating a dynamic texture across lines of text rather than a strictly uniform typographic color. The distressed patterning is consistent across letters and figures, so the roughness looks deliberate and cohesive rather than accidental.
