A narrow, upright hand-rendered roman with brush-ink construction and visibly uneven edges. Strokes show medium contrast with frequent tapering terminals, occasional flare, and slight wobble that creates a lively rhythm. Letterforms are mostly simple and open, with irregular stroke boundaries and small spur-like artifacts that mimic dry brush or rough printing. Lowercase proportions sit on a short x-height with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, and spacing feels loosely even but naturally inconsistent in a handwritten way.
Works best for short to medium display copy where the textured, hand-ink character can be appreciated—posters, book and album covers, product packaging, and pull quotes. It can also suit themed branding and signage that benefits from a crafted, slightly distressed voice, but the rough edges may feel busy at very small sizes.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a slightly weathered, crafted quality. Its irregular texture and soft, brushy terminals give it a playful, storybook warmth while still reading like a straightforward roman rather than a script.
Designed to capture the look of hand-painted or brush-lettered type with natural imperfections, balancing legibility with an intentionally rough, tactile finish. The narrow proportions and upright stance suggest an aim for compact headlines that still feel expressive and personal.
Texture is consistent across the set, but individual glyphs vary in stroke thickness and edge roughness, reinforcing an authentic hand-made feel. Numerals and capitals share the same inked, distressed character, making the font feel cohesive in mixed typography and display lines.
