A slanted, brush-leaning script with high-contrast strokes and visibly uneven, ink-rubbed edges. Letterforms show a mix of rounded bowls and tapered entries/exits, with frequent stroke swelling and slight wobble that suggests pressure changes from a marker or dry brush. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, creating an organic rhythm; counters are generally open and forms stay readable despite the texture. The lowercase has a comparatively low x-height with tall ascenders/descenders, and numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with soft curves and irregular terminals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the textured stroke and slanted motion can be appreciated—such as posters, product packaging, café or craft branding, book covers, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when paired with a quieter companion text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels handmade and approachable, with a slightly weathered, retro character. Its roughness reads more like expressive ink on paper than polished signage, lending warmth and personality while staying energetic and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering with a deliberately worn print texture, balancing legibility with an artisanal, hand-rendered presence. Its variable rhythm and ink-like imperfections aim to add personality and a human touch to titles and branding.
Capitals are more display-forward, with a looser, decorative cursive feel and occasional flourished movement, while the lowercase maintains a consistent handwritten flow. The texture is consistent enough to feel intentional, but irregular enough to communicate a distressed print/ink effect.
