A hand-drawn print face with dry-brush texture and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, uneven rhythm: widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, curves are slightly flattened or lopsided, and terminals often taper or blunt as if lifted from paper. Proportions lean tall in the capitals and the lowercase shows a compact x-height relative to ascenders, giving text a light, airy vertical cadence. Counters are small-to-moderate and the overall color on the line is gently broken by natural-looking stroke variation rather than strict geometric consistency.
This font works best for display sizes where its texture and irregularities can be appreciated—such as packaging, café or boutique signage, book covers, posters, and short headlines. It can also suit invitations, craft branding, and captions when a warm, handmade feel is desired, but extended small-size body text may feel busy due to the rough edges and lively stroke variation.
The tone is casual and personable, like hand-lettered notes or a lightly theatrical caption. Its imperfect brushiness reads friendly and a bit whimsical, evoking craft, storytelling, and informal signage rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and handmade authenticity over strict uniformity. Its varied glyph widths and textured strokes suggest an aim for natural, human rhythm in both all-caps titling and mixed-case display settings.
Capitals have a slightly calligraphic flair without connecting strokes, and several forms show intentional quirks (occasional angled joins, uneven bowls, and varied terminal shapes) that reinforce the drawn-by-hand character. Numerals match the same organic construction and maintain legibility while keeping the same rough, inked texture.
