A lively, hand-drawn print face with a dry-brush texture and noticeable stroke irregularity. Letterforms lean consistently and show tapered terminals, intermittent rough edges, and occasional ink-break effects that mimic marker or brush pen pressure. Proportions are loose and slightly variable from glyph to glyph, with rounded bowls, soft corners, and an overall bouncy baseline rhythm. Counters remain generally open and readable, while some strokes flare or narrow abruptly, emphasizing the hand-rendered contrast and organic movement.
Works best for short to medium copy where a handmade voice is desired—posters, invitations, product packaging, café menus, social posts, and hobby/craft branding. It can also add warmth to headings and pull quotes when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The tone is informal and personable, with a spontaneous, sketchbook-like energy. Its textured strokes and playful rhythm suggest friendliness and approachability rather than precision, giving text a conversational, crafty feel. The slant and brushy modulation add motion and expressiveness, making it well-suited to lighthearted and human-centric messaging.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush printing in a consistent, typeset form. The goal appears to be an expressive, friendly texture with enough regularity for readable lines of text, while preserving the natural variation and momentum of quick marker strokes.
Uppercase forms read as simple, sign-like shapes with slightly uneven widths and varied stroke endings, while lowercase maintains the same drawn character with compact bodies and modest extenders. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with rounded, casual constructions and visible stroke variation. At smaller sizes, the texture and narrow joins can visually fill in, so it tends to perform best when given enough size and spacing to let the rough edges breathe.
