A slanted, brush-pen script with high-contrast strokes and a textured, slightly dry-brush edge that introduces natural irregularity. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters, a short lowercase profile, and a lively baseline rhythm. Strokes taper sharply into pointed terminals, with occasional ink pooling on curves and downstrokes that gives the set a hand-rendered, uneven finish. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall color is energetic rather than uniform, reinforcing the drawn quality.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the textured brush character can be appreciated, such as posters, packaging labels, café menus, social media graphics, and brand accents. It works well for punchy headlines and callouts, but the irregular texture and tight rhythm suggest using larger sizes and generous line spacing for longer passages.
The font reads as personal and energetic, with a workshop-made, imperfect charm. Its roughened stroke texture adds a touch of grit and warmth, suggesting handmade packaging, casual signage, or an expressive note written quickly with a brush marker.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush lettering with visible stroke texture and natural variation. The aim appears to be an expressive, handcrafted script that feels informal and distinctive, adding character and a lightly worn finish to display typography.
Uppercase forms are simple and script-like rather than formal caps, while lowercase characters keep a consistent forward movement with frequent looped joins and brisk entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm and tapering, maintaining the informal tone in mixed text.
