A slanted, brush-pen style design with narrow proportions and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms show frequent tapering into pointed terminals, with intermittent thick-to-thin transitions that mimic a single-pass marker or loaded brush. Edges are intentionally irregular and slightly mottled, producing a worn, inky texture and occasional wobble in curves and joins. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, handwritten rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency.
This font performs best in short, prominent settings where texture and motion are assets—posters, album or event graphics, packaging callouts, café/market-style branding, and social media titles. It can also work for rough-edged wordmarks when a handcrafted, brush-written impression is desired.
The overall tone feels informal and energetic, with a gritty, analog character that suggests quick signage, notebook lettering, or street-market labeling. Its texture adds a slightly vintage, handmade flavor—confident and bold, but not polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush writing while adding deliberate distress for an aged, printed or weathered feel. Its narrow, slanted forms and variable rhythm prioritize personality and gesture over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, brushy caps while the lowercase leans more script-like, with several letters showing looped or hooked descenders and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, with uneven curves and tapered ends that keep the set cohesive in display contexts.
