A slanted, handwritten print face with quick, single-stroke construction and open counters. Strokes show a dry-brush/marker texture with occasional rough edges and slight tapering at terminals, creating a broken-ink rhythm. Letterforms are generally narrow and upright in structure despite the slant, with simplified geometry, compact bowls, and modest ascenders/descenders that keep the silhouette tidy while retaining hand-drawn irregularity. Spacing feels natural and slightly uneven, reinforcing an organic, written look rather than a rigid typographic grid.
Best suited for display-size use where its texture and hand movement can be appreciated—posters, album/cover art, artisanal packaging, café menus, and short quote graphics. It can also work for brief subheads or annotations, but the rough stroke edges and lively irregularity may reduce clarity in long body text or at very small sizes.
The font reads as informal and human, with an energetic, on-the-fly note-taking quality. Its scratchy texture and quick curves suggest spontaneity and approachability, leaning more indie and crafty than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate fast, natural handwriting with a lightly textured tool, balancing readability with an intentionally imperfect, hand-made finish. The goal appears to be an expressive, personal voice for branding and editorial display rather than formal text setting.
Uppercase forms are legible and straightforward, while lowercase shapes introduce more personality through looped or hooked entries and slightly inconsistent stroke joins. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, brisk forms that match the overall cadence.
