A condensed, hand-drawn print style with a right-leaning slant and quick, brushlike strokes. Forms show noticeable stroke modulation with tapered terminals and occasional sharp, flicked ends, giving letters a sketchy, ink-on-paper feel. Proportions are uneven in an intentional way: ascenders and descenders run long, counters are small to moderate, and widths vary by character, creating a lively rhythm. Curves are slightly irregular and joins are open rather than calligraphically connected, keeping the texture light despite the dark strokes.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and casual branding accents. It can add personality to headings and subheads, especially where a handmade, human tone is desired. For longer passages, its narrow proportions and animated stroke endings suggest using larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a spontaneous, scribbled confidence. It feels friendly and slightly mischievous—more like a handwritten note or poster marker lettering than a polished display face. The narrow build and animated terminals add a sense of urgency and personality.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick brush or marker lettering while remaining readable across both uppercase and lowercase. Its condensed build and expressive terminals aim to deliver personality in tight spaces, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered texture.
Capital letters tend to be taller and more expressive than the lowercase, with some dramatic verticals and diagonal strokes that stand out in headings. Numerals match the same quick, hand-rendered logic, staying simple and legible while retaining the same tapered, drawn-in-one-go character. Spacing appears naturally inconsistent, reinforcing the handmade texture in longer lines.
