A high-contrast, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and deliberately irregular construction. Forms mix thin hairlines with swollen teardrop terminals and occasional wedge-like ends, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Curves are loose and open, counters vary noticeably from letter to letter, and widths shift across the alphabet for a casual, one-off feel. The lowercase is compact with a short x-height, while ascenders and descenders tend to be tall and expressive; round letters (o, e) lean toward asymmetrical bowls and the numerals echo the same taper-and-bulb logic.
Best suited to short display settings where its character can lead: headlines, posters, book covers, playful packaging, and greeting cards. It can work for small bursts of text in captions or pull quotes, but the irregular spacing and extreme contrast favor larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone is mischievous and lighthearted, like marker lettering for a children’s book or a quirky boutique sign. Its irregularities read as intentional personality rather than polish, giving text a chatty, offbeat energy.
The design appears intended to capture an expressive, hand-inked look with intentionally odd proportions and a bouncy baseline texture. It prioritizes personality and visual humor over uniformity, aiming for memorable, decorative typography in informal contexts.
Several capitals and lowercase letters show distinctive terminal shapes—often a single heavy stroke paired with a fine trailing line—reinforcing a brush-pen impression. Spacing appears visually uneven by design, and the strongest impact comes from the bold blot-like verticals that punctuate words.
