A slanted, brush-pen script with moderately narrow proportions and an energetic, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show subtle texture and uneven edges, with lightly fluctuating thickness that suggests dry-brush or rough ink on paper. Letterforms are mostly connected in running text, with rounded joins, soft terminals, and occasional looped descenders; counters stay open and readable despite the irregularity. Overall spacing is compact and flowing, with a noticeably modest x-height that gives ascenders and descenders room to animate the line.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where a handmade voice is desirable, such as posters, packaging callouts, café menus, lifestyle branding, and social media graphics. It also works well for pull quotes and headings when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for body text.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick signage, a hand-lettered note, or a menu written with a brush marker. Its slight roughness and bounce add warmth and a vintage, handcrafted feel without becoming overly chaotic.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with a touch of wear, balancing expressiveness with legibility. The goal appears to be a personable script that feels crafted and spontaneous, suitable for themed or vintage-leaning display applications.
Capitals have a simplified, handwritten structure that mixes script-like curves with occasional print-like starts, helping them stand out at the beginning of words. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with rounded forms and slight texture that keeps them consistent with the text style.
