A slanted brush-script style with quick, calligraphic strokes and a lightly textured, worn edge that suggests dry brush or rough printing. Letterforms are compact and relatively tall in proportion, with small lowercase bodies, long ascenders/descenders, and frequent looped constructions. Strokes show subtle tapering and occasional ink pooling, creating an energetic, slightly uneven rhythm. Spacing is airy but irregular in a natural handwritten way, and the overall texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short display settings where the brush texture and expressive movement can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, and brand marks. It also works well for social graphics and pull quotes when set at larger sizes to preserve the distressed details.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone with a nostalgic, handcrafted feel. Its roughened brush texture adds a hint of grit and warmth, balancing elegance with a casual, lived-in character.
Designed to emulate fast brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect edge, aiming for a human, tactile look that feels printed or written rather than digitally constructed.
Capitals have prominent, sweeping entrances and exits that can create strong word shapes, while the lowercase keeps a quicker, more note-like flow. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and slight stroke wobble that reinforces the analog texture.
