A heavy, hand-drawn print style with compact proportions and chunky strokes. Letterforms are built from simple, rounded shapes with slightly flattened curves and visibly irregular edges, as if made with a dry brush or marker. Stroke endings are blunt and uneven, counters are generous and often slightly misshapen, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally inconsistent rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” a sturdy, upright “t,” and rounded figures that match the same roughened silhouette.
Works best for display settings where a bold, handmade voice is desirable—posters, cover art, product packaging, stickers, labels, and social graphics. It also suits kid-oriented or playful branding and informal editorial callouts, where a tactile, drawn look helps the message feel approachable.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, with a crafty, DIY energy. Its rough texture and bouncy consistency feel informal and human, lending a spontaneous, comic, and slightly grungy personality to headlines and short statements.
Designed to mimic thick, hand-rendered lettering with visible tool texture and deliberate imperfections. The aim appears to be high-impact readability paired with a casual, handcrafted character for attention-grabbing titles and punchy phrases.
The texture is strongest along curves and joins, where small nicks and wobble add character. Spacing appears open enough for display use, and the shapes stay legible even with the distressed edges, though the heavy weight and texture can build density in longer passages.
