A dry-brush handwritten print with narrow, upright letterforms and visibly textured stroke edges. Forms are built from quick, confident strokes that create slightly uneven contours, occasional tapering, and small ink-break artifacts, giving the glyphs a rough, organic finish. Proportions are compact with modest counters and a lively rhythm created by irregular stroke joins and small variations in width and shape from glyph to glyph. Overall spacing feels informal and slightly bouncy while remaining readable at display and short-text sizes.
Works well for posters, short headlines, packaging, and social graphics where an informal, hand-made voice is desired. It’s also suited to branding accents, merch, and themed materials that benefit from a rough brush texture (craft, indie, rustic, or spooky seasonal applications).
The font conveys a casual, handmade tone—friendly and approachable, but with a slightly gritty edge from the brushy texture. The roughness adds a rustic, DIY feel that can also lean eerie or Halloween-adjacent when set in black at larger sizes.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush printing—readable, upright, and narrow, but intentionally imperfect. The aim appears to be an authentic, textured handwritten look that adds personality and grit without becoming fully script-like.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent drawn-on-paper character rather than strict typographic construction, and numerals match the same brush-textured, improvised energy. The texture is prominent enough that very small sizes may lose crispness compared to smoother handwritten prints.
