A narrow, right-leaning handwritten display face with brush-pen construction and visible texture throughout the strokes. Letterforms are built from tapered, pressure-like strokes with occasional dry-brush breaks and slightly wobbly curves, creating a lively, irregular rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall, with small counters and tight apertures, and the baseline and stroke edges show deliberate roughness that keeps the forms from feeling geometric or polished.
Best used at display sizes where the brush texture and irregular edges remain visible: posters, covers, labels, and logo-style wordmarks. It also fits short headlines for social media graphics, event promotions, and craft/food-and-beverage packaging where an authentic, hand-lettered feel is desirable.
The font reads as informal and human, with a quick, expressive marker/brush energy. Its rough edges and slightly uneven rhythm give it a crafty, rustic tone—friendly rather than refined—suited to designs that benefit from personality and grit.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with natural pressure variation and a lightly distressed finish, prioritizing warmth and character over strict consistency. Its narrow, slanted forms help it feel energetic and space-efficient in headlines while retaining a clearly handmade identity.
Uppercase forms are simplified and handwritten in spirit, while lowercase maintains a legible, note-like flow with single-storey shapes and minimal finishing. Numerals follow the same brushy treatment, and punctuation in the sample text blends with the textured stroke texture, reinforcing a cohesive handmade look.
