A condensed, right-leaning handwritten face with a brush-pen feel and visibly textured stroke edges. Letterforms are built from quick, slightly wavering strokes with tapered terminals and occasional blunt finishes, creating an uneven baseline and a natural, variable rhythm. Counters are generally open and simplified, with compact proportions and tight internal spacing; uppercase forms are tall and narrow while lowercase stays small and quick, reinforcing a compact, note-like color. Figures are similarly narrow and drawn with the same dry-brush texture, keeping the set visually consistent in running text.
Best suited to display typography—posters, packaging, social graphics, album/cover art, and branding moments that benefit from a handmade voice. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the condensed forms and textured strokes are most effective when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a dry, slightly roughened texture that suggests marker-on-paper or a lightly distressed brush script. It reads energetic and personable rather than polished, lending a handmade, editorial spontaneity to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, brushy handwriting with a lightly worn texture, delivering an expressive, DIY character while maintaining a coherent alphabet for repeated use across titles and prominent lines of text.
The texture is not uniform: edges show subtle breakup and pressure changes, which gives the font a tactile, printed-from-hand quality. Spacing and stroke flow prioritize gesture over strict regularity, so the face feels most authentic when used at display sizes where the grain and tapering can be appreciated.
