A condensed, hand-drawn print style with dry-brush texture and visibly uneven stroke edges. Forms are upright and generally monolinear in feel, but with subtle pressure changes and roughened terminals that create a lively, slightly distressed silhouette. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the line a jittery rhythm; counters are small and irregular, and curves often resolve into slightly angular bends. Lowercase shows a modest x-height relative to tall ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a narrow, vertical overall color.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as posters, event flyers, covers, packaging callouts, and bold editorial headings where a handcrafted texture is desirable. It can work for brief punchy paragraphs in larger sizes, but the rough edges and tight proportions suggest avoiding very small text where clarity may drop.
The font conveys an off-the-cuff, handcrafted attitude—casual, a bit scruffy, and energetic. Its rough texture and narrow stance add a gritty, indie tone that feels more handmade than polished, with a playful edge suited to expressive messaging.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering made with a dry brush or worn marker, prioritizing personality and texture over strict regularity. The condensed shapes and variable rhythm appear intended to create an expressive, space-efficient display voice with a deliberately imperfect finish.
Texture remains consistent across letters and numerals, so even in longer text the page takes on a peppered, ink-on-paper look. The narrow proportions help fit more characters per line, while the irregularities keep it from feeling mechanical.
