A tall, right-leaning handwritten style with slender strokes and a dry-brush texture that creates intermittent rough edges and occasional thickened spots. Letterforms are loosely constructed with variable widths and slightly uneven baselines, giving the set a lively, human rhythm. Uppercase characters are narrow and elongated with simplified structures, while the lowercase is similarly tall with small counters and a notably short x-height relative to ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same quick, inked gesture, with open curves and lightly irregular stroke endings.
Works well for short headlines, posters, and pull quotes where a handwritten, textured look supports a crafted or boutique message. It also suits packaging, album art, and book covers that benefit from an expressive, slightly weathered script-like presence. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels informal and personal, like quick marker or brush-pen notes made with a light touch. The worn, scratchy texture adds a handmade, slightly grungy character that reads as creative and relaxed rather than polished or corporate. It suggests a spontaneous, journal-like voice with a hint of quirky attitude.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of quick handwriting with the tactile feel of dry ink on paper. The narrow, tall proportions and distressed stroke texture aim to deliver an energetic, handmade display voice that stands out without relying on heavy weight.
Stroke terminals often taper or fray as if from a drying pen, and some joins appear intentionally imperfect, enhancing the distressed authenticity. Spacing and form consistency are cohesive enough for lines of text, but the texture and narrow construction keep it best suited to display sizes where the rough detail can be appreciated.
