A hand-drawn, narrow text face with slightly wiry strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms show irregular edges, subtle wobble, and visible texture that suggests a dry brush or worn marker. Curves are simplified and open, with modest contrast created by pressure-like thickening in places rather than strict pen logic. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm while remaining legible in continuous text.
This font suits short-to-medium length text where an informal, handcrafted voice is desired, such as posters, packaging labels, café menus, book covers, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes in editorial layouts when you want a human, textured counterpoint to cleaner body type.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, with a gently roughened finish that feels homemade and approachable. Its uneven stroke texture and casual construction evoke craft packaging, notebook lettering, and imperfect print, leaning more friendly than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a legible handwritten texture—capturing the spontaneity of brush lettering while keeping a consistent baseline and recognizable forms for everyday reading. Its restrained irregularity suggests it was drawn to feel authentic and slightly worn without becoming chaotic.
Capitals are tall and straightforward, while the lowercase adds more bounce and personality, especially in rounded forms and looped descenders. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic with slightly irregular curves and stroke endings, helping the set feel cohesive across text and display use.
