A heavy, hand-drawn print with chunky strokes and softly faceted curves. Letterforms are unconnected and slightly irregular, with visible wobble in verticals, uneven stroke edges, and gently shifting proportions from glyph to glyph. Counters tend to be compact and organic, terminals are blunt, and many shapes feel carved or cut by hand rather than constructed geometrically. Overall spacing and widths vary, creating a bouncy rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes while retaining a distinctly handmade texture.
Well suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where a strong handmade personality is desirable. It can add charm to packaging, stickers, event materials, and playful editorial callouts. For longer passages, its dense ink color and irregular rhythm will work best with generous size and leading.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous tone—friendly but a little rough-around-the-edges. Its bold, lumpy silhouettes and jaunty inconsistencies suggest craft, spontaneity, and informal energy, making text feel approachable and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn lettering with bold, high-impact shapes, prioritizing personality and texture over strict uniformity. Its consistent heft and simplified structures aim for quick recognition while keeping an intentionally imperfect, crafted feel.
Capital letters are broad and emphatic, while lowercase forms keep a simple, print-like structure with noticeable shape quirks (including angular notches and slightly shifting baselines). Numerals match the same chunky, irregular construction, maintaining consistent color and presence in mixed settings.
