A hand-drawn, marker-like sans with thick strokes and softly irregular outlines. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals, uneven curves, and occasional wobble that mimics quick brush or felt-tip pressure. Counters tend to be small and simplified, and the overall rhythm is bouncy due to inconsistent stroke edges and subtly varied character widths.
Works best for short, high-impact copy where texture and personality are desirable: posters, flyers, playful headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and merch graphics. The heavy stroke and rough edges also suit themed applications like spooky, camp, or retro-comic treatments where an intentionally imperfect finish supports the message.
The texture and loose construction give it a friendly, scrappy energy—more zine and street-poster than polished branding. It reads as approachable and humorous, with a lived-in, DIY character that feels expressive rather than precise.
Designed to capture a quick, hand-lettered look with deliberate roughness—prioritizing character and tactile texture over geometric consistency. The goal appears to be a bold, legible display face that injects informal, handmade attitude into titles and emphatic phrases.
Uppercase shapes stay simple and sturdy, while lowercase forms lean more handwritten, helping the font feel conversational in longer text samples. Numerals match the same rough, rounded construction and maintain strong visibility at display sizes.
