A slanted, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and visibly textured strokes. Letterforms are narrow and upright in structure but driven by fluid diagonal movement, with tapered entries/exits and occasional blunt terminals that suggest dry-brush friction. Stroke weight varies within each character, creating a lively rhythm and slightly uneven color on the line. Spacing is compact and the overall silhouette is tall and lean, with simplified joins and an unforced, improvised consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for short-to-medium display settings where character and motion are more important than strict regularity—posters, product packaging, café or craft branding, editorial pull quotes, and social media graphics. The textured strokes and tight rhythm can add authenticity to titles and labels, while longer passages work best with generous size and leading to preserve clarity.
The font reads as informal and human, with a roughened, analog personality reminiscent of quick marker lettering or lightly weathered sign paint. Its texture and slant add energy and approachability, giving text a personal, sketchbook tone rather than a polished calligraphic one.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect texture, offering a quick, expressive voice for display typography. The consistent slant and narrow proportions aim to keep lines flowing while retaining the grit and irregularities of real ink on paper.
Capitals are narrow and gestural, pairing well with the smaller lowercase without feeling ornamental. Numerals keep the same hand-drawn logic, with open shapes and slight baseline irregularities that reinforce the natural, written look.
