A lively, hand-drawn italic with softly irregular contours and a dry, textured stroke that suggests brush or marker on absorbent paper. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals, uneven stroke edges, and small variations in width that keep the rhythm human rather than mechanical. Curves are open and buoyant, counters are generous, and joins show subtle wobble and taper, producing a consistent “printed by hand” feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where texture and personality are assets—such as packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, book covers, invitations, and social graphics. It can also suit subheads or pull quotes when set with ample spacing to keep the rough edges from crowding.
The tone is friendly and approachable, with a crafty, DIY character and a lightly nostalgic, worn-in finish. Its textured edges add warmth and personality, reading as relaxed and conversational rather than formal or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the spontaneity of handwritten lettering while retaining enough structure for repeated setting, pairing a casual italic flow with a deliberately worn, tactile surface. The goal appears to be an expressive, analog voice that feels personal and slightly vintage.
Uppercase forms are simple and upright in construction while still slanted overall, pairing well with a more cursive lowercase that uses single-storey forms and looped strokes. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with rounded shapes and slight inconsistencies that reinforce the distressed, analog look.
