A compact, hand-rendered script with a brush-and-ink look, combining thick vertical strokes with finer connecting curves. Letterforms are mostly upright with a slightly bouncy baseline and uneven stroke edges that suggest dry brush or rough printing. Counters are small and occasionally pinched, terminals tend to be rounded or softly tapered, and joins vary in pressure, creating an intentionally irregular rhythm. Numerals follow the same painted texture, with simplified shapes and lively, slightly inconsistent widths.
Well-suited to short display settings where a handmade texture is desirable, such as product packaging, café or market signage, craft branding, event posters, and social graphics. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when set with generous size and line spacing to preserve the lively stroke detail.
The font conveys a friendly, homespun character—expressive and informal rather than polished. Its textured strokes and subtly wobbly contours evoke analog materials (marker, brush pen, or stamped ink), giving it a warm, craft-oriented tone with a hint of retro charm.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with visible pressure changes and imperfect ink edges, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over strict uniformity. The goal appears to be an approachable, artisanal display voice that feels human and slightly weathered.
At larger sizes the texture and stroke modulation become a key feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and rough edges may reduce clarity. Spacing appears moderately tight with occasional glyph-to-glyph variation, reinforcing the hand-lettered feel.
