A hand-drawn, brush-pen style with rounded terminals and intentionally uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from simple, open curves and soft corners, with subtle wobble in verticals and horizontals that creates an organic rhythm. The texture reads as lightly roughened or dry-brushed in places, giving strokes a slightly mottled outline rather than crisp geometry. Counters are generally open and generous, and the overall construction stays upright while retaining a loose, sketched consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where a handmade, textured look is desirable—such as posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, and social media graphics. It can also work for playful branding and craft-oriented projects, especially where a casual, brush-lettered personality helps set the tone.
The font conveys an informal, friendly tone with a crafty, human presence. Its rough-ink texture and slightly irregular shapes suggest spontaneity and approachability, leaning toward a playful, quirky voice rather than polished formality.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering with a lightly distressed, inked edge—capturing the warmth of hand-made marks while staying legible and consistent across an alphabet and numerals.
Caps are bold and simple with a poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps a compact, handwritten feel. Numerals share the same brushy texture and rounded construction, maintaining visual cohesion in mixed text. The sample text shows steady word color at display sizes, with the distressed edges adding character more than noise.
