A slanted, wiry text face with lightly modulated strokes and an intentionally imperfect outline. Letterforms are built from smooth, calligraphic curves but carry subtle wobble, roughened edges, and occasional tapered terminals that create a drawn-on-paper texture. Proportions are compact with tight inner counters and a brisk rhythm, while curves (notably in bowls and rounded capitals) stay open and airy despite the narrow build. Overall spacing appears even, with the irregular contour providing most of the motion rather than dramatic stroke swelling.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where the roughened contour can be appreciated—posters, pull quotes, book or magazine features, menus, and boutique packaging. It can add character to branding systems that want a handmade, slightly vintage feel, and works well for headers or subheads paired with a calmer body text.
The font reads as informal and human, like quick brush or pen lettering cleaned up for typesetting but left a bit raw. Its distressed texture adds a lightly weathered, artisanal tone—more indie and handcrafted than polished or corporate. The italic slant and lively curves give it momentum and a friendly, slightly quirky personality.
Designed to deliver an italic, hand-rendered look with a controlled distressed finish, balancing legibility with tactile texture. The goal appears to be a personable, crafted voice that feels printed, sketched, or lightly worn rather than mechanically perfect.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, suggesting a deliberate worn/printed effect rather than random noise. Numerals and rounded forms show the most visible edge irregularity, which becomes a key part of the face’s character at display sizes.
