A lively hand-drawn print with a brush-pen feel, showing dry, textured edges and visibly uneven stroke widths. The letterforms lean forward and vary in width and stance, creating an irregular rhythm that reads intentionally imperfect and human. Uppercase shapes are compact and slightly condensed with blunt terminals, while lowercase stays small and quick, with simple one-storey forms and minimal internal detailing. Numerals follow the same painted, slightly wobbly construction, keeping a cohesive handmade texture across the set.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its texture and motion can be appreciated—posters, display headlines, packaging accents, and social or editorial graphics. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or captions when a personal, hand-lettered emphasis is desired, rather than a uniform typographic voice.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, like quick lettering made with a marker or dry brush. Its roughness adds personality and a hint of grit, while the forward slant keeps the voice active and conversational. It feels approachable and handmade rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted lettering in a repeatable font, prioritizing character and gesture over geometric consistency. The goal appears to be an expressive, brushy print that injects warmth and spontaneity into display typography.
The texture is most apparent on curved strokes and terminals, where edges break and thicken unpredictably, suggesting bristle drag or ink pooling. Spacing appears somewhat variable and organic, which reinforces the handwritten cadence in longer lines of text.
