A condensed, slanted handwritten display face with brush-pen construction and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from quick, tapered strokes with occasional blobby joins and slight wobble, creating an intentionally imperfect outline. Tall ascenders and narrow counters give the alphabet a vertical, compact rhythm, while spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph for a natural, hand-drawn cadence. Edges look lightly roughened, as if made with a dry brush or textured ink, and round forms (O, Q) stay open and airy despite the narrow proportions.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and casual branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like fast marker lettering on packaging or a handwritten note. The roughened texture adds a slightly gritty, crafty character that reads as human and unpolished rather than sleek or corporate.
Designed to capture the energy of quick brush lettering in a compact, upright-leaning script, adding a worn, ink-textured finish for character. The goal appears to be high personality and handmade presence over strict uniformity, with expressive capitals and consistent handwritten rhythm.
Capitals are especially expressive, with long, sweeping strokes and occasional loop-like terminals (notably in letters such as J and Q). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying legible but idiosyncratic, reinforcing the hand-rendered, imperfect consistency across the set.
