A hand-rendered, brush-pen style with narrow proportions and lively, uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with slight, natural wobble, showing irregular terminals, occasional dry-brush thinning, and small ink blobs that create a worn, textured silhouette. Curves are softly rounded and open, while straight strokes feel slightly jagged and tapered, producing a loose rhythm and intentionally inconsistent finish across the set.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where texture and personality are desirable: posters, packaging, café or market branding, album art, and social graphics. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers, especially on light backgrounds where the rough edges remain clear.
The overall tone is casual and human, with a rough, crafty energy that reads as informal and expressive rather than polished. Its distressed texture adds a gritty, zine-like feel, while the friendly shapes keep it approachable and lighthearted.
The design appears intended to simulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, distressed print look—capturing the spontaneity of marker or ink on paper while keeping forms legible in headline settings.
Spacing and glyph widths vary subtly, reinforcing a handwritten cadence in text. Numerals follow the same inked, slightly blotty construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
