A slanted, brush-pen style italic with high stroke contrast and visibly textured edges that read like dry ink on paper. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and occasional blunt endings, with small wobble and uneven fill that create a printed-from-handmade feel. Letterforms lean strongly and maintain a consistent rhythm, while widths and joins vary enough to feel natural and informal. Counters are open and clear, and curves show slight roughness rather than smooth vector geometry.
Well-suited for display typography where a handmade, textured italic can add personality—posters, labels, café or boutique branding, book covers, and pull quotes. It works best at medium to large sizes where the dry-brush texture and tapered terminals remain legible and intentional.
The font conveys an approachable, crafty tone—energetic and human rather than polished. Its rough-ink texture adds a vintage, tactile character that can feel nostalgic, outdoorsy, or workshop-made. Overall it reads friendly and expressive, with a hint of playful imperfection.
Designed to simulate a quick, confident brush script translated into a readable italic text style, retaining the natural artifacts of ink drag and uneven pressure. The aim appears to be adding authentic, tactile character and motion to short bursts of text without looking overly formal.
Uppercase forms are simple and assertive, while lowercase adds more calligraphic movement and personality. Numerals follow the same brushy contrast and slant, with slightly irregular curves that keep the set cohesive. The texture is strong enough to be noticeable in display sizes and can become busier when set very small.
