A compact, hand-drawn all-caps and lowercase with thick, ink-heavy strokes and a subtly uneven silhouette. Letterforms are narrow and tall with rounded terminals, soft corners, and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Edges show visible texture and wobble, as if made with a brush marker or dry-brush pen, creating organic counters and small variations in width from glyph to glyph. Spacing appears moderately tight, and the dense black shapes produce strong color on the page.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, flyers, labels, packaging, and bold social graphics. It can work for subheads and punchy callouts, but the dense stroke weight and textured edges may reduce comfort in long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a crafty, lived-in feel. Its roughened texture and quirky proportions read as playful and human, suggesting spontaneity rather than precision. The heavy, compact presence can also add a slightly rugged, homemade character when set in blocks of text.
Designed to mimic bold, hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish. The goal appears to be strong visual impact paired with a friendly, crafted tone, delivering a human touch without connecting script strokes.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered construction, with simplified forms and occasional idiosyncrasies that emphasize authenticity. Numerals follow the same chunky, brushed style, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed alphanumeric use.
