A wiry, hand-drawn print style with uneven stroke edges and frequent overdrawn contours, as if traced twice with a pen. Strokes show slight wobble and variable pressure, with occasional spikes, hooks, and rough terminals that create a scratchy texture. Proportions are loose and inconsistent in an intentional way, with narrow verticals on many letters, rounded bowls that sometimes spiral inward (notably in O/Q forms), and simplified, open shapes that keep counters clear. Spacing and rhythm feel freehand rather than metrically regular, producing a lively, slightly restless line of text.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact text where texture and personality are desired—posters, cover art, social graphics, comics, and zine-style layouts. It can also work for playful packaging or event titling when used at sizes large enough for the rough detail to read cleanly.
The overall tone is informal and mischievous, with a doodled, notebook-like energy. Its imperfect outlines and jittery details read as human and spontaneous, lending a quirky, playful voice that feels more expressive than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick marker or pen lettering, preserving retraced lines and small inconsistencies to emphasize authenticity and motion. It prioritizes character and handmade texture over strict uniformity, aiming for an expressive, casually illustrated look.
Uppercase and lowercase forms share the same drawn-on-the-fly character, with occasional decorative overshoots and retraced strokes that add texture at larger sizes. Numerals keep the same sketchy construction, with rounded forms and casual diagonals that match the letterforms.
