An italic, brush-pen display face with sharply tapered terminals, high stroke modulation, and uneven ink distribution. Letterforms feel loosely constructed with variable widths and subtle baseline wobble, producing a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Edges appear ragged and slightly broken in places, like dry brush or distressed printing, and counters are irregular, especially in round forms. Overall proportions are compact with a moderately open texture, but the stroke interruptions and flicked joins keep it visually active.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as posters, titles, headings, and cover typography where texture and gesture are desirable. It can also work for branding accents and packaging that benefit from a handcrafted or distressed voice, but is less ideal for long-form reading or small UI sizes due to its rough edges and variable stroke clarity.
The font conveys a raw, handmade energy with a slightly dramatic, storybook edge. Its distressed brush character suggests urgency and movement, balancing playful handwritten charm with a darker, rougher tone.
Likely designed to emulate quick, expressive brush lettering with purposeful wear and ink breakup, prioritizing atmosphere and personality over mechanical consistency. The intent appears to be a dramatic, handcrafted display texture that remains broadly legible while retaining irregular, human stroke behavior.
Capitals read as more calligraphic and angular, while lowercase stays simpler and more cursive in flow, creating a deliberately mixed, hand-rendered feel. Numerals inherit the same brush texture and irregular thickness, which can add character but reduces uniformity in data-heavy settings.
