A hand-drawn, monoline-to-slightly-modulated text face with visibly rough, sketch-like outlines and occasional doubled strokes that create a dry-brush texture. Letterforms are upright with open counters and softly irregular curves; terminals often taper or fray, and straight strokes wobble subtly, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand construction. Proportions are generally compact and readable, while spacing and stroke rhythm retain small inconsistencies that keep the texture lively across words and lines.
This font is well suited to short headlines, posters, packaging accents, and book or album covers where a handcrafted, textured feel is desired. It can also work in social graphics and informal branding, especially when paired with simpler supporting type for longer reading.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a playful, slightly scruffy character that feels personal and unpolished in an intentional way. Its texture suggests quick marker or brush-pen writing, giving it a friendly, handmade energy rather than a polished editorial voice.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand lettering—complete with wobble, texture, and imperfect stroke edges—while staying coherent enough for general-purpose display text. Its consistent rough outline and brushy artifacts suggest an emphasis on personality and tactile presence over geometric precision.
In the sample text, the rough edging and interior texture remain noticeable at text sizes, creating a consistent “inked” color on the page. Round characters (like O/Q) show pronounced hand-rendered curvature, and numerals match the same casual, sketched construction for cohesive display use.
