A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, uneven baseline and variable stroke terminals that suggest quick marker or ink brush movement. Proportions are condensed overall, with tight counters and simplified shapes that favor bold silhouettes over fine detail. The texture and slight wobble in curves and joins create an intentionally imperfect rhythm that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display copy where the textured strokes and condensed shapes can read clearly—such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and book or album covers. It also works well for branding accents and informal titling, but should be used sparingly for long passages where the heavy texture may reduce readability.
The font reads as informal and energetic, with a homemade warmth that feels approachable rather than polished. Its roughened, inky edges add a crafty, spontaneous character, giving text a personable, slightly mischievous tone that suits expressive headlines and casual messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a bold marker/brush feel, prioritizing personality and impact over geometric precision. It aims to deliver an energetic, crafted look that feels human and spontaneous while remaining cohesive across a full basic character set.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a unified hand-rendered voice, with single-storey forms and sturdy, rounded joins. Numerals follow the same chunky, brushed construction, keeping strong presence at display sizes while becoming busier in small settings due to texture and tight internal spaces.
