A rough, handwritten italic with narrow proportions and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes show a dry, textured edge with slight wobble and variable pressure, producing small nicks and thick–thin fluctuations along stems and bowls. Letterforms are loosely constructed with inconsistent widths and spacing, giving lines a lively rhythm; counters are generally open but can pinch where the stroke thins. The lowercase sits relatively low with modest ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same hand-drawn, slightly uneven construction.
Works well for display use where a handmade, distressed voice is desirable—such as posters, album or book covers, craft-oriented packaging, café menus, or brand marks that benefit from an earthy, informal texture. It can also serve as an accent face for short subheads or pull quotes when paired with a cleaner text font.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a worn, tactile feel that suggests ink drag, rough printing, or a quick marker/brush note. Its jittery texture and slanted stance add energy and a hint of scrappy charm, reading as expressive rather than polished.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering while adding a deliberately weathered surface for character. The goal appears to be approachable legibility with visible materiality—ink texture, irregular edges, and lively variation—suited to themed and expressive typography.
Uppercase forms remain simple and legible, while the lowercase introduces more personality through varied stroke joins and slightly inconsistent terminals. The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, so the look intensifies at larger sizes and can visually fill in at very small sizes.
