A slanted, handwritten script with brush-pen energy and a lightly distressed texture running through the strokes. Letterforms are tall and compact, with tight sidebearings and a bouncy baseline rhythm that makes widths feel irregular from glyph to glyph. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional rough interiors and uneven edges that read like dry ink or worn printing. Capitals include simple swashes and looping entries, while lowercase stays mostly unconnected, giving it a casual, note-like flow rather than a fully joined cursive.
Works best at display sizes where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated—such as packaging labels, cafe or craft-market signage, posters, and expressive headlines. It can also suit invitations or short quotes where a handmade, vintage-leaning script is desired, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone feels rustic and expressive, balancing a vintage, slightly weathered charm with an upbeat handwritten liveliness. It suggests hand-crafted labeling and old-time signage, with enough flourish in the caps to add a touch of drama without becoming overly formal.
Designed to emulate quick, brush-written lettering with a worn-ink finish, aiming for a lively script silhouette that feels handcrafted and slightly aged. The narrow, tall proportions and subtle swashiness support compact, eye-catching titling and themed display typography.
The texture is most apparent in thicker strokes and counters, creating a speckled, ink-grain effect that becomes a key part of the look. Numerals are similarly narrow and slanted, maintaining the same brushy modulation and slightly irregular rhythm for cohesive display use.
