A lively, slanted handwritten style with brush-pen–like strokes and noticeably irregular edges. Forms are loosely constructed with uneven curves, variable stroke pressure, and slightly inconsistent baselines that create a natural, drawn rhythm. Counters tend to be open and rounded, terminals are soft and tapering, and joins often show slight wobble, reinforcing a deliberately imperfect, textured look across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display uses where texture and personality are an asset—posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and short quote settings. It can also work for headings or pull-quotes when you want a handwritten feel that stays readable while still looking intentionally rough and lived-in.
The tone is informal and personal, like quick marker notes or a sketchbook caption. Its roughness adds warmth and grit, giving text a human, spontaneous energy rather than a polished, typographic feel.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush handwriting with a distressed edge, prioritizing authenticity and expressive motion over strict consistency. The goal appears to be an approachable, analog feel that adds character and attitude to short-form typography.
Uppercase letters read as simplified, hand-formed caps that mix print-like structure with cursive motion, while lowercase maintains an easy handwritten flow without strict connectivity. Numerals follow the same organic stroke behavior, with slightly quirky proportions that help the set feel cohesive and characterful in running text.
