A narrow, handwritten display face with a brush-pen construction and visibly irregular edges. Strokes show quick direction changes, slight wobble, and occasional ink buildup, creating a dry-brush texture and uneven terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected with a loose baseline and inconsistent widths, producing a lively rhythm and hand-rendered pacing. Counters are small and sometimes asymmetrical, and tall ascenders/descenders add a lanky silhouette in mixed-case settings.
Best suited for display applications where a handmade, textured voice is desired—posters, headings, short slogans, packaging callouts, and casual branding. It works well in larger sizes on clean backgrounds where the rough edges and narrow rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
The font conveys an informal, human, and slightly roughened character—more like quick marker lettering than polished calligraphy. Its textured outlines and uneven cadence suggest craft, spontaneity, and a lightly weathered, analog feel, giving text a personable and expressive tone.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, brushy handwriting with a deliberately imperfect finish, balancing legibility with expressive texture. Its narrow stance and irregular stroke behavior aim to add character and a lived-in, crafted atmosphere to titles and short passages.
Capitals read as simple, gesture-driven forms with occasional sharp hooks and tapered ends, while lowercase introduces more bounce and variability. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simplified shapes and slight irregularity that keeps them consistent with the alphabet. Texture and narrow proportions make the face more striking at larger sizes than in dense, small text.
