A hand-drawn, brush-pen style with slender stems and sharp contrast between main strokes and tapered entry/exit flicks. Forms are mostly upright with a lively, slightly uneven baseline and subtle size/width fluctuations that enhance the handmade rhythm. Terminals are pointed or softly rounded, and edges show mild texture that reads as ink drag rather than clean vector geometry. Uppercase leans toward simplified, sign-like shapes, while lowercase is more cursive with looped ascenders/descenders and a flowing, connected-script feel even when letters are set separately.
Works best for short to medium headlines, pull quotes, packaging labels, and promotional graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. The textured brush contrast also suits craft branding, café menus, and social media artwork; for longer paragraphs it will read more as a stylistic accent than a text face.
The overall tone is informal and personable, mixing a crafty, handwritten charm with a lightly edgy ink texture. It feels friendly and expressive rather than refined, suggesting quick marker notes, casual signage, or diary-like lettering.
Likely designed to capture quick, expressive brush lettering with a touch of texture, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, hand-inked personality. The split between simpler uppercase and loopier lowercase suggests flexibility for mixed-case display typography that still feels handwritten.
The narrow proportions and short lowercase body make spacing and line breaks feel compact, while the pronounced loops on letters like g/j/y add decorative movement in text. Numerals and caps share the same brush energy, keeping headings and callouts consistent with the scriptier lowercase.
