A slanted, brush-script style with high-contrast strokes that alternate between thick painted swells and thin hairline connections. The outlines show intentional texture and roughness, with slightly irregular edges and occasional ink-like dry-brush breaks that give the letters a worn, hand-rendered look. Forms are cursive-leaning even in capitals, with rounded terminals, looping entries/exits, and a buoyant baseline rhythm; counters tend to be compact and the overall letterfit stays relatively tight for a script.
Best suited to short to medium display text where the brush texture can read clearly—logos, product packaging, café/food branding, event posters, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The font conveys an upbeat, handmade personality with a casual vintage flavor. Its textured strokes suggest brush lettering and imperfect print, lending warmth and an artisanal feel rather than a polished formal script.
Likely designed to capture the look of expressive brush calligraphy with a deliberately weathered finish, balancing legibility with handcrafted character for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, while the lowercase maintains quick, gestural movement with frequent loops and soft curves. Numerals follow the same brushy construction, keeping the set visually cohesive for display settings.
