A compact, hand-drawn print style with tall, condensed proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes look brush-marked, with slightly ragged edges, tapered terminals, and occasional swelling that suggests a felt-tip or dry-brush tool. Letterforms are mostly unconnected and upright, with simplified construction and mild inconsistencies in width and stroke behavior that reinforce a handmade texture. Counters are relatively small and shapes skew narrow, giving lines a dense, poster-ready presence.
Best suited for display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, labels, and casual signage where a handmade voice is desired. It can also work for short social graphics or merch text, especially when paired with a quieter companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, like quick marker lettering made for attention rather than polish. Its roughened edges and emphatic strokes feel friendly and a bit rebellious, lending a lively, street-sign or sketchbook character.
This design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush/marker feel—prioritizing impact, personality, and texture over strict regularity. The condensed proportions help it fit longer words into tighter spaces while maintaining a strong, attention-grabbing color on the page.
In text, the condensed build creates strong vertical emphasis and tight word silhouettes, while the irregular stroke texture adds visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same hand-drawn logic and weight, reading best when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
