A hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes and visible texture throughout, creating irregular edges and occasional interior scuffing. The letterforms lean on simple, rounded constructions with tapered terminals and uneven stroke distribution that suggests marker or dry-brush lettering. Curves are slightly wobbly, joins are soft, and proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving the set a lively, informal rhythm. Numerals and caps follow the same textured, painted treatment for a consistent overall color on the page.
Well suited for short display settings such as posters, event promos, packaging callouts, and social media graphics where a hand-painted look is desired. It also works for branding in contexts like cafés, markets, crafts, and casual lifestyle products, especially when paired with clean supporting text.
The overall tone is friendly and approachable, with a crafty, homemade energy. Its roughened texture adds a tactile, imperfect charm that reads as relaxed and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, hand-painted lettering with a deliberately worn, textured finish. The intent appears to prioritize personality and tactile realism over geometric regularity, providing an expressive display option for informal, character-led design.
The texture and stroke breakup become a prominent feature at larger sizes, where the brush grain and edge chatter add character. In longer text blocks, the irregularities create an active surface and are best used when that expressive noise is part of the intended voice.
