A slanted, brush-pen script with connected-looking cursive forms and lightly irregular contours. Strokes show a textured, dry-brush edge and occasional ink buildup, creating a naturally uneven rhythm across letters. Uppercase characters are tall and looped with open counters, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small body and prominent ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, rounded shapes and subtle stroke wobble that keeps the texture consistent in mixed copy.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where the brush texture can be appreciated—logos, product labels, café/market signage, posters, and quote graphics. It can also support headings or pull quotes in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font reads as friendly and artisanal, with a nostalgic, handcrafted feel. Its roughened stroke edges add warmth and informality, evoking stationery, café chalkboard lettering, or weathered print. The overall tone is energetic and personable rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush calligraphy with a deliberately imperfect print texture, balancing legibility with a crafted, worn-in finish. The goal appears to be an expressive script suitable for themed, lifestyle-oriented design that benefits from a personal touch.
Letterforms maintain a cohesive calligraphic angle, but the baseline and stroke finish vary slightly, reinforcing the handmade character. Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, and the textured edges become a defining feature at display sizes where the brush grain is more visible.
