A hand-drawn print style with heavy, inky strokes and visibly uneven edges that feel like a marker or brush on absorbent paper. Shapes are simplified and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and a relatively small x-height compared to the capitals. Stroke endings are blunt and occasionally pointed, producing a slightly jagged silhouette and lively internal counters. Spacing and widths vary from letter to letter, creating a loose, organic rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes while remaining legible in short text.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and packaging where a handmade, rough-edged voice is desirable. It works especially well for seasonal or spooky themes, playful horror, comics-style captions, and DIY branding. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short bursts (titles, pull quotes, labels) where its texture can read as intentional rather than noisy.
The overall tone is eerie-yet-fun: rough, homemade, and a little messy in a deliberate way. It suggests Halloween signage, DIY posters, and hand-painted props—more mischievous than truly threatening. The irregular texture adds a gritty, lo-fi character that feels human and immediate.
Designed to capture the look of quickly painted or marker-drawn lettering with an expressive, imperfect outline. The aim appears to be strong visual personality and atmosphere—prioritizing texture, spontaneity, and a handcrafted rhythm over strict geometric consistency.
Capitals have strong, blocky presence with wavy verticals, while lowercase stays compact and bouncy. Numerals share the same uneven, painted look, with distinct, chunky forms suited to attention-grabbing use. The texture and irregular stroke contour become more pronounced as sizes increase, where the “inky” personality is most visible.
