An expressive handwritten italic with a brush-pen feel, marked by slightly uneven stroke edges and occasional dry-brush texture. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow counters and a tight overall footprint, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a natural rhythm. Strokes show subtle contrast from pressure changes, with quick terminals, soft joins, and a lightly jittery baseline that reinforces the informal, drawn-by-hand character.
Works best for short to medium display copy where texture and motion are desirable—posters, logos and wordmarks, packaging callouts, social graphics, and merch. It can also suit editorial pull quotes or headlines when you want an informal, handcrafted tone, but the narrow, tightly drawn shapes favor larger sizes and limited text lengths.
The font reads as candid and lively—like fast marker notes or a personal signature—while the roughness adds a worn, analog edge. It suggests DIY culture and vintage ephemera, balancing friendliness with a slightly edgy, unpolished attitude.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush handwriting with a deliberately imperfect edge, delivering a human, analog look without the formality of traditional script. The intent appears to be expressive display typography that feels personal and energetic while retaining enough consistency for set text samples.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, handwritten caps rather than formal calligraphy, and the lowercase keeps a loose, cursive-adjacent structure without becoming fully connected. Numerals share the same brisk, sketched construction, and the overall texture stays consistent across the alphabet, helping it feel cohesive in longer lines.
