A brush-script style with mostly unconnected letters, built from confident strokes that alternate between thick downstrokes and finer entry/exit hairlines. The forms are tall and slightly condensed, with a compact lowercase that sits low on the line and modest ascenders that keep the rhythm tight. Edges and counters show deliberate texture and uneven ink distribution, giving a dry-brush, printed-wear feel. Terminals are rounded and occasionally tapered, and the overall spacing reads slightly irregular in a natural, handwritten way.
Works best for short display copy where the brush texture can be appreciated—product packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and social graphics. It suits headings, pull quotes, invitations, and label-style designs, especially when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for supporting text.
The font conveys a warm, handmade personality—friendly and approachable with a lightly gritty, craft-paper character. Its textured strokes and relaxed proportions suggest an artisanal, DIY sensibility rather than a polished corporate tone.
Likely designed to mimic bold brush lettering with a slightly distressed ink texture, balancing legibility with an organic, imperfect finish. The goal appears to be an expressive, handcrafted look that feels contemporary yet tactile.
Uppercase letters are simplified and monoline-adjacent in structure but rendered with brush contrast and texture, helping them blend with the lowercase in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm and remain clear at display sizes, while the textured interiors mean the face will look more expressive (and potentially busier) as size decreases.
