A compact, hand-drawn sans with brush-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned with a slightly bouncy baseline and inconsistent widths, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes stay largely monolinear but show natural wobble, blunted terminals, and subtle ink spread/roughness that reads as worn or distressed. Counters are small and simplified, and the overall construction favors quick, gestural shapes over strict geometry.
Best suited to display applications where a handmade, distressed texture is an advantage—posters, packaging, book covers, and short headlines. It can also work for casual branding or social graphics where a human, crafted voice is desired, especially at moderate to larger sizes where the rough edges and stroke variation stay legible.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—friendly, a bit scrappy, and lightly mischievous. Its roughened edges and sketchy texture suggest handmade signage or quick marker lettering, giving text a relaxed, unpolished authenticity.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with a deliberately rough print impression. Its narrow, tall proportions and simplified forms prioritize personality and texture over typographic polish, aiming for an expressive, handmade look in compact headline settings.
In running text, the tight set and irregular stroke edges create a textured color on the page, with occasional quirky details (like hooky descenders and slightly varied cap heights) reinforcing the handmade feel. The numerals and punctuation match the same brushy, imperfect finish, keeping the texture consistent across mixed content.
