A slanted, hand-drawn text face with brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges that create a worn, textured fill. Letterforms are loosely constructed with open counters, rounded turns, and subtly fluctuating stroke thickness, giving a lively, imperfect rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with compact lowercase forms and tall, narrow ascenders/descenders that add a sketchy vertical energy. Numerals follow the same gestural logic, with simplified shapes and slight baseline wobble that reinforces the handmade feel.
This font suits short-to-medium headline settings where a handmade, tactile voice is desirable—posters, album/episode titles, event graphics, café or craft packaging, and social media cards. It can also work for pull quotes and section headers when paired with a calmer body font to keep longer reading comfortable.
The overall tone is friendly and unpolished, like quick marker or dry-brush lettering on paper. Its rough texture and easygoing slant suggest spontaneity and approachability, with a lightly rugged, craft-oriented character rather than a pristine digital finish.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with a deliberately imperfect print texture, delivering a human, crafted look. The goal is expressive display usability rather than strict uniformity, using roughness and variation to create personality and warmth.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in running text, producing a bouncy texture that reads best when the distressed edges have room to show. The italics-like slant and gestural terminals emphasize motion, making the face feel expressive even at moderate sizes.
