A handwritten display face with brush-pen construction and an intentionally uneven baseline and rhythm. Strokes taper and thicken subtly with pointed terminals, leaving small burrs and ragged edges that read as ink drag or dry-brush texture. Letterforms are tall and compact, with simplified shapes, narrow counters, and occasional angular kinks that add a slightly scratchy, improvised feel. Spacing is irregular in a natural way, and numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with open, airy bowls and quick, gestural curves.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where character and texture are desirable, such as posters, packaging, labels, book covers, and editorial headlines. It can also work for quotes or pull-captions when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing to accommodate its irregular rhythm.
The font conveys an informal, homemade tone—part sketchbook, part rough sign lettering. Its textured edges and slightly jittery stroke behavior add energy and personality, suggesting authenticity and spontaneity rather than polish or precision.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive hand lettering with a distressed, dry-brush finish—prioritizing personality, motion, and a crafted look over uniform geometry. Its narrow, tall proportions support attention-grabbing titles while keeping a light, airy overall texture.
Capitals are relatively prominent and gesture-driven, while lowercase forms keep a restrained, tidy loop/arch structure that stays legible despite the texture. The overall color remains light on the page, with contrast coming more from stroke taper and edge roughness than from heavy weight.
