A slanted, brush-lettered script with a compact footprint and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show strong contrast between thick downstrokes and thinner connecting motions, with visibly dry-brush texture that creates broken edges and inky deposits. Letterforms are mostly connected in the sample text, with looping ascenders/descenders and occasional sharp entry/exit terminals that add snap to the flow. Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with slightly irregular stroke widths and a hand-drawn consistency across the set.
Well-suited for short, prominent text where character and motion matter—such as posters, packaging fronts, labels, café menus, and social media graphics. It works best at display sizes where the textured edges and contrast can be appreciated, and less well for long paragraphs or very small settings.
The font conveys a casual, handmade confidence—like quick signage or marker-and-brush lettering. Its roughened texture and brisk slant give it a lived-in, crafty tone that can feel both friendly and a bit gritty.
Designed to emulate expressive brush handwriting with purposeful roughness, delivering a crafted, energetic look that stands out quickly. The combination of slant, contrast, and texture aims to add personality and a tactile feel to modern display typography.
Texture is a defining feature: edges feather and break in places, suggesting a dry brush or rough paper interaction. Capitals read like simplified script caps with strong stroke weight, while numerals and punctuation keep the same brushed, slightly imperfect finish for a cohesive overall voice.
