A slanted, hand-drawn brush style with visibly textured strokes and slightly ragged edges, as if made with a dry marker or worn brush. Letterforms are compact and upright in structure but consistently italic in flow, with tight internal spacing and a narrow overall footprint. Strokes show mild modulation and occasional tapering, with small shape-to-shape irregularities that keep the rhythm lively while remaining legible. The lowercase is simple and single-storey where applicable, with short extenders and a restrained x-height that gives the text a tall, written feel.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the dry-brush texture can be appreciated: posters, packaging callouts, café or craft branding, and social graphics. It can work for brief captions or pull quotes when sized comfortably, but the narrow proportions and textured edges suggest avoiding very small UI or dense paragraphs.
The font reads as personal and unpolished in a deliberate way—friendly, quick, and a bit gritty. Its texture and slight wobble evoke analog printing, sketchbook notes, or signage done by hand, lending a warm, artisanal tone rather than a sleek editorial voice.
The design appears intended to capture a fast, handwritten brush impression with an intentionally worn texture—combining casual script energy with enough structure for reliable headline use. Its consistent slant and compact forms aim for an expressive, analog look that still reads cleanly in mixed-case lines.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, so mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The figures follow the same handwritten construction and texture, integrating well into text. The roughness is moderate—enough to signal authenticity and motion, without collapsing counters or sacrificing readability at display sizes.
