A condensed, slanted hand-lettered face with brush-pen construction and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from tall, narrow bowls and stems with slightly tapered ends, occasional ink build-up, and subtle wobble in curves and terminals. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm, while the overall silhouette stays consistently upright-leaning and vertically emphasized. Counters are generally open and simple, with roughened interiors and small irregularities that read like dry-brush texture or imperfect printing.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a handmade, textured voice is desired—posters, headings, product labels, café menus, and packaging. It can also add an informal accent to pull quotes or social graphics, especially at sizes large enough for the rough stroke detail to remain clear.
The font conveys an informal, handmade tone—energetic and approachable rather than polished. Its narrow, brushy texture suggests DIY craft, indie packaging, or quick marker signage, with a lightly gritty character that adds personality and warmth.
Likely intended to capture the feel of quick brush lettering with natural imperfections—condensed for impact, slanted for momentum, and textured to imply analog ink on paper. The design prioritizes character and immediacy over geometric precision.
The texture is most noticeable along vertical strokes and at stroke endings, where terminals appear slightly frayed or blotted. The condensed proportions make lines feel compact and punchy, but the irregular edges and variable widths keep it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
