A slanted, brush-pen style face with rounded terminals and subtly irregular outlines that mimic ink drag and dry-brush texture. Strokes show gentle swelling and tapering with slightly uneven edges, creating a lively, hand-rendered rhythm. Letterforms lean consistently to the right, with open counters and simplified, loop-free constructions that keep shapes clear at display sizes. Spacing feels natural and a bit variable, reinforcing the handwritten flow while maintaining overall legibility.
Works well for short to medium-length display text such as posters, product labels, packaging, café menus, event promotions, and social graphics. The textured brush quality helps titles and pull quotes feel handcrafted, especially when set at larger sizes where edge detail can be appreciated.
The font reads as approachable and informal, with a warm handmade tone. Its roughened edges and lively stroke energy suggest craft, authenticity, and a bit of retro charm rather than polished corporate precision.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with a slightly worn, printed finish, balancing expressiveness with readable forms. The goal appears to be an energetic, personable script-like voice that feels crafted and imperfect in a controlled way.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and sign-like, while the lowercase takes on a more cursive, connected-script feel without requiring full joining. Numerals are bold and rounded with the same brushed texture, making them suited to attention-grabbing callouts.
