A condensed, handwritten sans with a loose, brush-pen feel. Strokes stay relatively monolinear but show visible wobble, taper, and blunted terminals that create a dry, slightly uneven edge. Proportions are compact with a small x-height, tall ascenders, and narrow counters, giving lines a tight, vertical rhythm. The slanted construction and irregular stroke join behavior add a spontaneous, drawn-by-hand consistency rather than geometric precision.
Works best for short to medium text where a casual, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, labels, and display headlines. It can also serve as an accent font paired with a clean text face to add warmth and texture without overwhelming the layout.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a slightly rough, do-it-yourself texture that reads as human and approachable. Its mild abrasion and unevenness suggest quick notes, sketchbook lettering, or hand-painted signage rather than polished corporate typography.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with controlled legibility: narrow, slanted letterforms for compact setting, plus roughened edges and organic irregularities to deliver an intentionally imperfect, tactile look.
Uppercase forms remain simple and legible, while lowercase letters show more personality through varying loop sizes and occasional asymmetry. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with open shapes and uneven curves that keep the texture consistent across mixed copy.
