A condensed, hand-lettered brush style with tall proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show strong pressure modulation, creating tapered terminals and occasional blunt ends, with visible texture and slight interior roughness that reads like dry ink or a worn marker. Letterforms lean toward simple, rounded constructions with inconsistent stroke edges and modest baseline bounce; counters are generally open but can tighten in heavier joins. Overall spacing is compact, with irregular widths that reinforce the handmade feel.
Best suited for short display text where texture and personality are an asset: posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, event promotions, and branded quotes. It can work for subheads or brief emphasis in layouts, but it’s less ideal for long-form reading or very small sizes where the distressed brush texture may fill in.
The font conveys an informal, energetic tone—friendly and slightly mischievous—like quick signage or personal notes made with a brush pen. Its roughened texture adds a crafty, imperfect charm that feels approachable rather than polished.
Designed to simulate quick, confident brush lettering with intentionally imperfect edges and ink variation, prioritizing personality and impact over typographic neutrality. The condensed proportions and high-contrast strokes aim to create a strong vertical presence while maintaining a casual, handcrafted voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar hand-drawn logic, keeping the texture and tapering consistent across the set. Numerals follow the same brush treatment and remain legible at display sizes, though the textured edges and condensed forms can reduce clarity when set small or tightly tracked.
