A lively, slanted handwritten roman with brush-like stroke behavior and subtly rough, irregular edges. Forms are narrow and compact with a quick, variable rhythm, showing modest contrast from tapered joins and occasional swelling on curves. Terminals tend to flick into small hooks and points, giving counters and bowls a slightly uneven, inked texture. Uppercase letters feel loosely calligraphic with open curves, while lowercase maintains a simple, legible construction with a notably small x-height and long, wiry ascenders and descenders; numerals follow the same hand-drawn cadence.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where a handmade voice is desirable—packaging, café menus, event posters, craft branding, and book-cover titling. It can also work for pull quotes or headings in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is approachable and human, with a slightly weathered, printed-by-hand character. Its energetic slant and spiky terminals add a mischievous, storybook flavor, balancing charm with a touch of grit.
Likely drawn to evoke quick brush lettering with a lightly distressed imprint, aiming for an authentic, human-made look rather than polished calligraphy. The design prioritizes personality and texture while keeping letterforms recognizable for everyday display use.
Consistency comes from repeated tapered endings and a steady forward lean, while small variations in stroke width and edge texture keep the texture organic. The narrow set and compact counters can darken quickly in dense settings, making spacing and size choices important for clarity.
