A compact, hand-drawn print with heavy, brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are generally upright and narrow, with rounded terminals, soft corners, and occasional ink pooling that creates slightly blotty counters and joins. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm; curves are somewhat irregular and straight strokes wobble subtly, reinforcing the handmade texture. Capitals sit tall and simple, while lowercase forms are compact with small bowls and short extenders, giving the overall set a sturdy, condensed silhouette.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and promotional graphics where a handmade tone is desirable. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, but the heavy strokes and tight counters make it less ideal for small UI text or long-form reading.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a craft-paper, marker/brush energy that feels approachable rather than polished. Its irregularities add warmth and personality, suggesting a human touch and a lightly rugged, DIY sensibility.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering—bold, compact, and intentionally imperfect—to deliver an authentic, handcrafted feel. Its consistent weight and simplified shapes aim to balance personality with straightforward readability in display settings.
Rounded counters and simplified construction keep the alphabet legible despite the strong texture, while the numerals share the same brushy weight and slightly inconsistent widths for a cohesive, hand-rendered look. The dense strokes and tight interior spaces suggest it will look best with a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
