A chunky, hand-drawn print style with brush-like stroke edges and visible texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with rounded corners and slightly uneven terminals, producing an organic, imperfect rhythm. Strokes feel pressure-made rather than geometrically constructed, with subtle variation in thickness and width from glyph to glyph. Counters are generally open and simple, and spacing is lively—more dependent on individual shapes than a strict, uniform system.
Well-suited for short, high-impact text where personality is the priority—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and event promotions. It can also work for playful brand marks and headings, especially in contexts aimed at a casual or family-friendly audience; for longer passages, the textured edges and irregular rhythm are likely best used at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a doodled, homemade character that feels informal and energetic. Its roughened edges and bouncy proportions suggest spontaneity and humor rather than precision or formality.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush or marker, prioritizing warmth and character over typographic regularity. The consistent rough texture and simplified forms suggest an intent to deliver an informal, attention-getting voice that feels human and handcrafted.
Capitals read as simple, bold silhouettes that hold up well at display sizes, while lowercase shows more idiosyncrasy (notably in bowls, hooks, and descenders), reinforcing the hand-rendered feel. Numerals follow the same brushy construction, with slightly quirky curves and angled cuts that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
