A lively hand-drawn print style with brush-like strokes and visible texture. Letterforms lean slightly forward and show uneven stroke edges, with strong thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that suggest a dry brush. Proportions are compact and upright overall, with a relatively modest x-height and rounded, open counters that keep forms readable. Rhythm is intentionally irregular: widths and stroke joins vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, marker-painted feel.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters most: posters, packaging callouts, event flyers, social media graphics, and quote-driven designs. It performs best at display sizes where the brush texture and stroke contrast remain crisp, and it can add an informal, handcrafted accent to branding elements like labels or section headers.
The font feels spontaneous and upbeat, like quick hand-lettering for posters or notes. Its textured strokes and buoyant spacing give it an approachable, crafty tone with a touch of youthful energy rather than polished formality.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brushed handwriting in an unconnected print form, prioritizing expressiveness and a natural, human rhythm over strict consistency. It aims to deliver bold, attention-getting letterforms that still feel personal and approachable.
Capitals are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase introduces more gesture and bounce, creating a clear hierarchy when mixed. Numerals follow the same brush texture and forward slant, with rounded shapes and occasional rough overshoot that reads as deliberately handmade.
