A hand-rendered text face with slightly condensed proportions, upright stance, and subtly irregular letter widths. Strokes show medium contrast with visible wobble and rough, brush-like edges, giving counters and terminals a worn, inked texture. Curves are imperfectly rounded and joins vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm while remaining broadly readable in both cases. The lowercase has simple, compact forms with a single-storey “a” and “g,” and the numerals follow the same rough, drawn construction.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a handmade, distressed voice is desirable—posters, product packaging, labels, editorial headlines, and book covers. It can also add character to quotes or callouts, especially when a rough, printed or brush-lettered feel is needed.
The overall tone is casual and tactile, like signage or lettering made with a dry brush marker. Its irregular texture adds a weathered, human presence that feels approachable, slightly mischievous, and craft-oriented rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to emulate quick, hand-painted or rough-printed lettering with a controlled level of distortion: enough texture and wobble to feel authentic, but with consistent proportions for practical typesetting.
Texture is consistent across the set: edges appear slightly ragged and fills look uneven, as if printed on absorbent paper. Spacing reads moderately tight, and the narrow footprint makes lines stack efficiently while the irregularity keeps the texture active.
