A heavy, hand-drawn print face with compact proportions and irregular, brush-like stroke edges. Forms are generally upright with rounded corners and slightly flattened curves, while stroke terminals look dry and ragged, creating a textured silhouette. Widths vary from glyph to glyph, and the rhythm is intentionally uneven, with bouncy spacing and subtle shifts in stroke thickness that reinforce an organic, marker-painted feel. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and curves and joins tend to be simplified, prioritizing impact over refinement.
Well-suited for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, playful packaging, and comic or zine-style layouts. It also works as a display accent in social graphics or event promos where a bold, handmade tone is desired, rather than for long-form reading.
The font reads as lively and informal, with a friendly, slightly mischievous energy. Its imperfect contours and uneven rhythm suggest quick hand lettering, making it feel approachable and craft-oriented rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic thick marker or brush-painted hand printing, combining strong fill with intentionally uneven contours to convey personality and immediacy. It prioritizes character and visual punch, aiming for an expressive, informal display voice that feels drawn rather than engineered.
At larger sizes the textured edges and chunky shapes become a defining feature; at smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy fill may reduce clarity. Capitals and numerals carry a strong poster-like presence, while lowercase maintains the same roughened brush texture for a cohesive, handmade voice.
