A slanted, brush-script style with open, single-stroke construction and a noticeably textured edge, as if made with a dry marker or rough ink. Strokes swell and taper naturally, with rounded terminals and occasional blunt cutoffs that reinforce the hand-rendered feel. Letterforms are compact with lively, uneven rhythms and small baseline wobble; capitals are larger and more decorative, while lowercase forms stay simple and legible with clear counters. Numerals match the same informal movement and textured fill, maintaining consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Well-suited to short to mid-length text where personality matters—product packaging, café or craft branding, poster headlines, social graphics, invitations, and quote treatments. The textured strokes are most effective at moderate-to-large sizes where the roughness reads as intentional detail.
The font reads as friendly and handcrafted, mixing a relaxed everyday script with a lightly worn, analog texture. Its motion and irregularities create an approachable, personal tone that feels informal rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush lettering with a lightly distressed print texture, delivering a casual script that feels made by hand. The goal appears to be expressive, readable display lettering with organic imperfections and a warm, crafted presence.
Texture appears both along the outer contours and within strokes, producing a slightly mottled color on the page. Spacing feels intentionally loose and variable in places, enhancing the natural handwritten cadence, especially in mixed-case text.
