A brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and lively, irregular stroke edges. Letterforms show medium stroke modulation with rounded joins, occasional tapering terminals, and subtly wobbly baselines that reinforce a handmade feel. Counters are generally open and simplified, with compact vertical proportions and tight overall spacing that keeps the rhythm brisk. The texture reads as dry-ink or rough paper, with slight thickness variations and softened corners throughout.
Works best for short to medium-length display settings where the textured brush character can be appreciated—posters, packaging, album/cover treatments, and pull quotes. It can also suit brand accents and social graphics when a handcrafted, imperfect script is desired.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a quick, handwritten energy. Its roughened texture adds a gritty, analog character that feels approachable rather than polished, suggesting something human, spontaneous, and slightly vintage.
Likely designed to capture the look of fast brush lettering with authentic ink texture—prioritizing expressiveness and analog grit over strict uniformity. The goal appears to be a readable, energetic script that feels handmade and visually tactile in display use.
Capitals are expressive and slightly inconsistent in width, with some forms leaning toward simple calligraphic constructions rather than formal connected script. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with rounded shapes and occasional angular flicks, staying visually cohesive with the letters.
