A slanted, brush-pen script with visibly dry-brush texture and ragged stroke edges. Forms are built from tapered strokes with occasional blunt terminals, creating a lively, slightly uneven rhythm rather than geometric regularity. Curves stay open and airy, counters are compact, and joins feel hand-drawn, with subtle wobble and pressure variation across the alphabet and numerals.
Works best for short to medium lengths where a handmade voice is desirable—posters, packaging callouts, café/food branding, event promos, and social graphics. The textured edges and active rhythm make it especially effective at larger sizes, while still remaining readable in brief text blocks.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a confident, quick handwritten feel. The roughened texture adds a weathered, craft-forward character that reads as approachable and slightly gritty rather than polished or elegant.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering with a deliberately rough, worn imprint. The goal appears to be a casual script that feels personal and energetic, adding character through texture and irregularity rather than refined calligraphic precision.
Uppercase letters behave like gestural caps rather than formal display capitals, mixing broad swashes with simplified structures. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with soft curves and textured diagonals that help keep the set visually consistent in running text.
