A wiry, slanted handwritten face with mostly monoline strokes and a subtle, uneven texture that reads like dry-pen or rough printing. Letterforms are tall and compact, with open counters and lightly rounded joins, and the stroke edges show small irregularities that create a gently distressed, imperfect finish. Rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, with small variations in stroke length and terminal shaping that keep the texture consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to short-to-medium text in posters, packaging, social graphics, and book covers where a handmade voice is desired. It can also work for captions or pull quotes when you want a personal, lightly weathered tone, and performs best at sizes where the textured edges remain visible.
The overall tone is friendly and human, with a lightly worn, handmade character that feels relaxed rather than formal. Its slant and narrow build give it energy and forward motion, while the roughness adds a tactile, crafty mood.
Likely designed to mimic quick, natural handwriting with a controlled slant and a deliberately imperfect surface, balancing casual legibility with a tactile distressed feel for expressive display use.
Capitals stay simple and legible, while lowercase introduces more personality through curled descenders (notably in g, j, y) and narrow, looping forms. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, keeping a consistent slant and slightly uneven stroke endings for a cohesive page texture.
