A lively, hand-drawn script/display hybrid with brush-like strokes and a visibly irregular edge texture. Letterforms show high stroke contrast and a loose, slightly bouncy baseline, with frequent stroke wobble and occasional ink-blob thickening at turns and joins. The uppercase set reads as simplified, upright handwritten caps, while the lowercase leans more cursive with looping forms and occasional single-storey shapes. Counters are generally open and airy, and spacing feels intentionally uneven for an organic, handmade rhythm.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy where the textured strokes and handmade irregularities can read clearly—such as posters, covers, labels/packaging, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headings when you want a casual, crafted look, but the rough texture may reduce clarity in long body text or at small sizes.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a sketchbook energy that feels spontaneous rather than polished. Its roughened texture and playful movement suggest a crafty, offbeat voice suited to friendly, expressive messaging.
Designed to mimic expressive hand lettering with a deliberately imperfect, distressed finish, prioritizing personality and motion over typographic uniformity. The mix of simple caps and more cursive lowercase forms aims to provide an approachable, playful voice for display settings.
Digit forms and several letters show pronounced idiosyncrasies and varying stroke terminals, reinforcing the distressed, inked-in feel. The texture is consistent across the set, giving the font a cohesive “drawn with a marker/brush pen” character that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
