A compact, brush-pen style sans with rounded terminals, thick strokes, and a slight forward slant. Letterforms are built from confident, single-stroke gestures with visible stroke texture and subtle interior irregularities that create a printed-ink feel. The rhythm is bouncy and uneven in a deliberate way, with mild baseline wobble and varied stroke swell that keeps the texture lively. Counters are generally open and simplified, and the numerals echo the same chunky, hand-drawn construction.
Best suited to short headlines and display copy where the hand-rendered texture can be appreciated—posters, product labels, café menus, event promos, and social graphics. It can also work for playful subheads or pull quotes, but the rough stroke detail may soften in very small sizes.
The font conveys an upbeat, informal tone that feels personal and spontaneous, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a note on a chalkboard menu. Its roughened ink texture adds warmth and a touch of grit, keeping it energetic rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic quick, expressive brush lettering with a slightly worn ink edge, delivering a friendly handmade look that stands out in casual branding and thematic display settings.
Uppercase forms lean toward friendly, condensed caps with softened corners, while lowercase stays simple and highly legible at display sizes. The texture is consistent across letters and numbers, giving a cohesive distressed/inked appearance without looking chaotic.
