A slanted handwritten script with brush-like stroke modulation and lightly roughened, uneven edges that suggest ink on toothy paper. Letterforms are loosely connected in rhythm rather than strictly cursive, with open counters and tapered terminals that alternate between soft hooks and sharper flicks. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an organic, hand-drawn cadence; capitals are taller and more decorative, while the lowercase stays compact with relatively short extenders and a modest, low x-height. Numerals follow the same gestural logic, with rounded forms and slight wobble that reinforces the handmade texture.
Well-suited for packaging, labels, posters, and editorial display where a handmade, slightly worn script can add character. It also fits short brand marks, headings, pull quotes, and invitations where the textured brush impression is a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone feels personal and nostalgic, like annotated notes or a well-worn sign painted by hand. Its textured strokes and lively slant convey warmth and informality while still reading as deliberate, crafted lettering.
Likely designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a touch of wear, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, human surface. The set aims for a lively, personal script voice that feels vintage and tactile in print.
The texture is consistent across the set, reading as subtle distress rather than heavy erosion, and it becomes more apparent at larger sizes. Spacing and stroke rhythm favor a natural, slightly irregular flow, so the font will look most authentic when allowed some breathing room.
