A lively, brush-script style with a right-leaning stance and a hand-drawn, slightly dry-brush texture. Strokes show natural pressure changes and occasional edge roughness, with tapered terminals and subtly uneven contours that keep the rhythm human. Letterforms are compact and upright in their construction but slanted overall, with open counters and simplified joins that favor speed and spontaneity over precision. Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive handwritten logic, and the figures match the same freehand, slightly irregular finish.
Works best for short to medium-length display copy where a casual, handmade character is desired—such as posters, product labels, café menus, social graphics, and brand accents. It can also serve as an expressive secondary typeface paired with a clean sans for longer reading.
The overall tone feels personal and upbeat, like quick marker or brush lettering used for notes, menus, or packaging callouts. Its imperfect edges and lively movement create a relaxed, approachable voice with a touch of rugged, craft sensibility.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with visible stroke character and imperfect edges, prioritizing authenticity and energy. The set aims to deliver a distinctive handwritten flavor that stands out in display settings while staying legible in common words and numerals.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and non-uniform, reinforcing the hand-rendered feel. The texture remains consistent across letters and numerals, and the slant plus tapered endings help maintain flow in longer lines of text.
