A slanted, handwritten script with a loose monoline feel and visibly textured stroke edges. Letterforms are built from brisk, brush-like movements with tapered terminals and occasional ink-blob thickening at joins, producing an uneven rhythm. Proportions are narrow-to-open depending on the character, with long ascenders and descenders and compact lowercase bodies; spacing feels airy but irregular, reinforcing a natural hand-drawn flow. Numerals and capitals follow the same lively, slightly wobbly construction, maintaining consistent texture while varying in stroke weight from stroke to stroke.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its texture and hand movement can be appreciated—such as posters, album or event promos, packaging accents, café menus, and cover titles. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when a casual, handcrafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a rough, tactile quality that reads like quick marker or dry-brush lettering. It suggests spontaneity and approachability, with a slightly rugged, artisanal edge rather than polished elegance.
Designed to emulate quick, real-world handwriting with a dry, slightly distressed stroke, prioritizing personality and tactile presence over typographic precision. The set aims to look naturally written while staying consistent enough for expressive headlines and branded phrases.
The texture appears baked into the outlines, creating a worn-print effect along curves and diagonals. The slant and stroke irregularity add motion, while the relatively open counters keep the text from feeling overly dense at display sizes.
