A slanted, handwritten script with brush-pen construction and visibly textured strokes. Forms alternate between rounded bowls and sharper, tapered terminals, creating a lively rhythm with noticeable variation in stroke thickness and ink density. Letter shapes are loosely cursive but mostly unconnected, with occasional overlaps and a sketchy edge that reads like quick marker or dry-brush writing. Uppercase characters are tall and open, while lowercase maintains compact counters and modest ascenders/descenders, giving the set a nimble, informal silhouette.
Well-suited for packaging, café/food branding, posters, and social graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. It performs best at display sizes where the brush texture and stroke contrast can be appreciated, and where a casual, personal tone is more important than strict uniformity.
The overall tone is friendly and personal, like a handwritten note or a handmade label. The roughened stroke texture adds a slightly rugged, craft-forward feel, balancing charm with a hint of grit. It reads energetic and approachable rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with dry, imperfect ink edges—capturing the spontaneity of hand-drawn forms while keeping a readable, consistent alphabet for recurring use in themed display typography.
The texture and irregular outlines are consistent across letters and numerals, producing a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered look. The numerals follow the same brush rhythm and tapering, supporting cohesive use in headings and short callouts.
