A loose, hand-drawn print style with dry-brush texture and slightly ragged outlines. Strokes show visible tapering, uneven pressure, and occasional wobble, giving letters an organic, sketched construction rather than geometric precision. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with gently inconsistent widths, open counters, and simple, uncluttered forms that keep the alphabet readable despite the roughness. Terminals are blunt or softly frayed, and curves (like O, C, and G) feel freely drawn with subtle asymmetry.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a handmade, approachable feel is desired—posters, covers, labels, and social graphics. It’s especially effective for headings, pull quotes, and display lines that can benefit from texture and personality without requiring typographic uniformity.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a quick marker-on-paper energy. Its rough texture and lively rhythm suggest spontaneity, friendliness, and a slightly eccentric charm—more personal note or handmade sign than polished branding.
Designed to emulate quick, natural handwriting in unconnected printed letters, preserving the imperfections of hand pressure and tool texture. The intent appears to prioritize warmth and character over strict consistency, offering an easygoing display face for expressive, everyday messaging.
Capitals carry a slightly larger, more poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a modest, understated feel. Numerals match the same hand-rendered logic, with simple silhouettes and consistent texture, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive, handcrafted voice.
