A narrow, handwritten-style italic with brush-pen construction and visibly textured edges. Strokes show moderate thick–thin movement and occasional dry-brush breakup, giving counters and terminals a slightly rough, ink-on-paper feel. Letterforms are lively and irregular in rhythm, with variable widths across glyphs and a generally upright-to-forward slant. Uppercase forms are simple and legible with rounded joins, while lowercase mixes print and cursive cues; ascenders are tall, and bowls are compact, producing a tight, quick handwritten color.
Works well for short to medium-length display text where a handmade voice is desired—packaging, café/market signage, posters, and social graphics. It can also support chapter openers or pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face, while the narrow proportions help fit longer words into compact spaces.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a sketchbook spontaneity that reads as friendly and a bit rustic. The roughened stroke texture adds a worn, tactile character that can suggest craft, outdoor, or vintage-inspired storytelling without becoming overly grungy.
Likely drawn to capture the immediacy of quick brush lettering with a controlled, consistent texture, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect, hand-inked finish. The design emphasizes personality and tactility for themed display applications rather than neutral body text.
Texture is consistent across the set, so the distressed effect reads as intentional rather than accidental. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with slightly uneven curves and tapered terminals that keep them visually integrated with the letters.
