A slanted, handwritten display face with brush-pen construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show dry-brush texture and slightly ragged edges, giving counters and terminals a worn, ink-on-paper feel. Letterforms are narrow and upright in rhythm, with long ascenders/descenders and small lowercase bodies, while capitals carry looser, more gestural shapes. Joins and terminals are tapered and occasionally hooked, and overall spacing feels compact with lively, irregular stroke behavior rather than mechanical uniformity.
Best suited to short headlines and featured text where texture and motion are desirable—posters, product packaging, café/restaurant branding, event promotions, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or titling over imagery, where the rough brush edges remain visible and add character.
The tone is informal and human, suggesting quick hand lettering with a slightly weathered, analog character. Its textured stroke edges add a rugged, craft-oriented feel that reads as vintage and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of brush lettering while adding deliberate wear and texture for a lived-in, handcrafted look. It prioritizes personality and gestural energy over strict regularity, aiming for expressive display impact in branded or themed settings.
Uppercase and lowercase styles feel intentionally different: caps lean toward brisk, angular gestures while the lowercase mixes restrained cursive tendencies with print-like simplicity. Numerals are similarly handwritten, with open, flowing forms and occasional flourish, reinforcing the personal, made-by-hand impression.
