A slanted, brush-script style with medium stroke contrast and visibly textured edges that suggest dry-brush or rough printing. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmically connected in feel even when set as separate characters, with rounded counters, teardrop-like terminals, and occasional ink-like swelling on curves and joins. Uppercase shapes are more decorative and looped, while the lowercase maintains a compact, upright-to-slanted cursive construction with a relatively short x-height and lively ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with soft curves and slightly irregular stroke boundaries for an intentionally imperfect finish.
Well-suited to short display settings where the textured brush character can be appreciated: packaging labels, café menus, posters, storefront signage, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for apparel graphics or social media headlines where an informal, handcrafted voice is desired; for longer text, larger sizes help maintain clarity as the texture and tight proportions become more apparent.
The font reads as personable and handmade, balancing friendliness with a lightly worn, retro character. Its roughened brush texture adds motion and authenticity, evoking informal signage, personal notes, and craft-oriented branding rather than polished corporate typography.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a deliberately worn edge, combining legibility with a handcrafted, vintage-leaning personality. The intent appears to be expressive display typography that feels personal and tactile, like ink laid down on paper with slight drag and variation.
Texture remains consistent across the alphabet, with subtle irregularity that adds character without collapsing letter identity. The overall slant and compact proportions create a quick, continuous rhythm in words, while the more flourished capitals can add emphasis in initial caps and short headlines.
