A hand-drawn, print-style alphabet with dry-brush edges and visibly uneven stroke boundaries. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, sturdy construction and rounded-into-blunt terminals that feel painted rather than penned. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed overall, with loose, inconsistent widths from glyph to glyph that reinforce an informal rhythm. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the numerals match the same rough, marker/brush texture for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its brush texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging labels, café/market-style signage, event flyers, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when used sparingly.
The texture and wobble give it a relaxed, human tone—casual and approachable with a slightly rugged, handmade grit. It reads like quick signage or notebook lettering, projecting friendliness and unpolished authenticity rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, hand-painted lettering with a dry-brush finish, prioritizing personality and immediacy over typographic uniformity. Its straightforward shapes and consistent texture aim to deliver a dependable, handmade look for display-driven messaging.
Spacing and stroke irregularities are part of the voice, producing an energetic, slightly jittery line that becomes more expressive at larger sizes. The rough edges and occasional asymmetry create strong character, but can also add visual noise in long passages.
