A fast, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes resemble a dry brush or marker: mostly monoline with occasional thickening on curves and turns, and subtly rough, uneven edges that keep the texture lively. Letterforms are simplified and open, with long, swinging ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, giving lines of text a tall, airy rhythm. Uppercase shapes read as loose, drawn caps rather than formal calligraphic capitals, and spacing feels intentionally irregular for a natural, written cadence.
Well suited to display applications such as posters, product packaging, café or boutique branding, album/cover art, and social media graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. It can work for short headlines, pull quotes, and titling, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone—like quick notes, indie signage, or a journal headline. Its textured stroke and uneven rhythm add a slightly gritty, handmade energy without becoming chaotic, balancing friendliness with a touch of edge.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of quick handwriting with a lightly distressed, dry-brush finish. Its tall extenders, compact lowercase, and uneven stroke edges aim to deliver a natural, personal feel that stands out in expressive display settings.
The lowercase includes distinctive looped forms (notably in g, j, y) and a long cross on t that can create strong horizontal accents in words. Numerals are similarly handwritten, with simplified forms and slight wobble that matches the letter texture. Overall legibility is strongest at display and short-text sizes where the texture and tall proportions can be appreciated.
