A slanted, handwritten script with brush-pen construction and subtly rough, broken edges that create a lightly distressed texture. Strokes show natural tapering and occasional thickened downstrokes, with open counters and simplified joins that keep letterforms brisk and sketch-like. The rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with a narrow overall footprint and modest ascenders/descenders; forms lean forward consistently and maintain clear, readable silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited for display use where personality and texture are assets: posters, packaging, café menus, album/cover art, and brand accents. It also works for short editorial callouts and quotes, especially when you want a handwritten presence with a lightly worn, analog finish.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—like quick marker lettering on paper—paired with a gently weathered finish that adds a vintage, handcrafted feel. It reads as energetic and personal rather than polished, with a relaxed confidence that suits expressive messaging.
Designed to emulate fast, brush-written lettering with a touch of print wear, balancing clear character shapes with an intentionally imperfect surface. The aim appears to be an approachable script that adds warmth and authenticity while remaining usable in short lines of text.
Capitals are upright enough to stay legible but retain the same brushy looseness as the lowercase, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple shapes and slight stroke irregularities, keeping the overall texture consistent in text.
