A lively handwritten print with brush-like strokes and visibly textured edges. Letterforms lean slightly and show irregular stroke pressure, with occasional flared terminals and soft, tapering joins that mimic ink on paper. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels natural rather than mechanically even, creating a varied rhythm in words. The lowercase sits relatively small against the capitals, with compact counters and a slightly wiry, jagged contour that keeps the texture present even at larger sizes.
This face works best where personality matters more than typographic neutrality: short headlines, posters, book or zine covers, labels, and brand moments that want a handmade touch. It can also add warmth to pull quotes or section titles, especially when set with generous leading to let the texture breathe.
The tone is informal and human, like quick notes or hand-lettered packaging. Its roughened outlines and playful irregularity give it a rustic, storybook energy—friendly, a little scruffy, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered writing with a brush or felt-tip—prioritizing organic movement, texture, and natural variation over strict uniformity. It aims to feel personal and artisanal, suitable for expressive display typography.
The character set shows noticeable individuality between similar structures (for example, rounded forms and diagonals), reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn feel. Numerals follow the same textured, inked construction and maintain the casual rhythm when mixed into text.
