A lively, brush-written script with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show clear pen/brush modulation with tapered entries and exits, creating a naturally rhythmic line while maintaining firm, legible letter shapes. Edges are intentionally rough and ink-textured, with occasional blotting and slight irregularities that break the outlines and add a printed-by-hand feel. Letterforms are loosely connected in flow but remain mostly discrete, giving it an energetic, handwritten cadence rather than a fully continuous script.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and motion are an asset—posters, album/film titles, packaging callouts, café or craft branding, apparel graphics, and social media hero lines. It can also work for brief quotes or subheads, but the textured edges and brisk rhythm favor larger sizes and open spacing over dense body text.
The overall tone is informal and human, like quick lettering made with a loaded brush on textured paper. Its worn, inky surface and slightly gritty finish lend a nostalgic, workshop-made character that feels authentic and spontaneous rather than polished.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted lettering in a repeatable typeface, emphasizing organic stroke energy and surface texture for expressive display typography. The roughened contours and brush-like terminals appear intended to add personality and a tactile, analog presence to modern layouts.
Capitals are bold and gestural, providing strong word openings, while the lowercase keeps a tighter, more compact rhythm. Numerals match the same brush texture and slant, staying cohesive in mixed typographic settings where a handmade voice is desired.
