An expressive, hand-lettered italic with a brush-pen feel and intentionally uneven outlines. Strokes show visible texture and slight edge ragging, with modest thick–thin shifts and tapered terminals that mimic quick, pressure-driven writing. Letterforms are tall and narrow with compact counters, and spacing varies slightly to preserve a natural, human rhythm. The overall construction stays legible but embraces irregularities in curves, joins, and stroke endings for a worn, handcrafted look.
Works well for short display settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, packaging callouts, café or market signage, stickers, and social media graphics. It can also suit thematic titles or quotes where a handmade, slightly distressed voice helps set the mood, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous line spacing due to the lively stroke texture.
The font reads informal and energetic, like a personal note or hand-painted sign. Its roughened texture adds a crafty, DIY character that can feel a bit gritty while still friendly and approachable. The slanted stance and brisk stroke motion contribute to a sense of speed and spontaneity.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with a lightly worn finish, offering a casual display face that feels human and imperfect rather than polished. The narrow, slanted forms aim to keep headlines compact while retaining expressive movement and handcrafted charm.
Caps and lowercase share the same hand-drawn DNA, with simplified shapes and occasional idiosyncrasies that keep repeated letters from feeling too mechanical. Numerals follow the same brushy construction and textured edges, matching the alphabet well in tone.
