A handwritten print face with wiry, brush-like strokes and visibly uneven pressure, producing rough edges and occasional blobby terminals. The letterforms are mostly upright but loosely constructed, with variable stroke texture and inconsistent curves that emphasize a drawn-by-hand rhythm. Proportions skew tall and lean, with long ascenders and descenders and generally compact internal counters; round letters (like O and e) appear slightly faceted and imperfect rather than geometrically smooth. Spacing feels informal and a bit jumpy, contributing to an intentionally unrefined, sketchbook look.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality is the goal: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, book or zine covers, and playful branding. It can also work for captions or UI labels in casual contexts when set with generous spacing and modest sizes to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is playful and quirky, with a slightly mischievous, improvised energy. Its irregularities read as personal and conversational, like quick marker notes or handmade signage rather than polished typography.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick hand lettering—expressive strokes, imperfect geometry, and lively rhythm—while remaining readable across a full basic alphabet and numerals.
Uppercase forms tend to be angular and slightly spiky, while lowercase shows more bounce and variation from glyph to glyph. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with uneven curves and distinctive, casual construction that favors personality over strict uniformity.
