A loose, handwritten script with a tall, slender silhouette and a rightward slant. Strokes read like a dry brush or fineliner with uneven pressure: tapered entries, occasional blunt terminals, and slight wobble in curves. Counters are open and airy, joins are minimal, and several forms feel partially disconnected, reinforcing a quick, sketch-like rhythm. Spacing is irregular by design, with narrow letters and variable sidebearings that create a lively, hand-set texture in words.
Works well for short to medium-length display settings where a handmade, slightly worn voice is desired—posters, packaging labels, cafe menus, social graphics, and quote treatments. It can also support branding accents (logos, headers, signatures) when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone—like rapid note-taking or a signature-style scrawl—tempered by a slightly weathered, ink-skip character. It feels expressive and human rather than polished, with an artsy, indie sensibility.
Likely designed to emulate fast, expressive handwriting with a dry-ink texture—prioritizing personality and motion over typographic regularity. The narrow, slanted construction and uneven stroke edges aim to deliver a spontaneous, crafted look that stands out in display contexts.
Uppercase letters lean toward swashy, simplified capitals that behave more like display initials than formal titling caps, while lowercase remains compact and diminutive in presence. Numerals are similarly airy and handwritten, keeping consistent slant and stroke behavior. The overall texture stays intentionally inconsistent, producing a distressed, analog feel in longer lines.
