A condensed, handwritten display face with a dry-brush texture and irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are upright with lively, high-contrast strokes that taper and swell as if made with a brush pen running low on ink. Curves and terminals show visible wobble and occasional scratchy break-up, creating a rhythmic, imperfect line. Overall proportions are narrow, with a compact lowercase that sits low relative to tall ascenders and capitals, while spacing and character widths vary enough to keep the texture feeling natural and hand-made.
Well-suited for short, prominent text where texture is an asset: posters, book covers, packaging labels, café menus, event promos, and social graphics. It can add an artisanal touch to branding and pull quotes, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The font conveys a handmade, slightly rugged tone—like quick brush lettering on paper, packaging, or a chalkboard-style sign. Its inky texture and uneven pressure add warmth and personality, leaning casual and artisanal rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, upright brush handwriting with intentional wear and ink breakup, providing a ready-made handcrafted look without needing custom lettering.
The distressed texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive printed-from-ink or dry-brush effect. The condensed build and textured strokes make it feel energetic and eye-catching, though the roughness becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes.
