A heavy, marker-like handwritten design with rounded, swollen forms and visibly irregular stroke edges. Strokes show wobble and occasional ink build-up, creating textured interiors and uneven counters that read like quick brush or felt-tip lettering. Terminals are mostly blunt and soft, with loose joins and variable stroke width that gives each glyph a slightly different silhouette. Spacing and widths feel deliberately inconsistent, reinforcing an informal, hand-drawn rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Works best at display sizes where the textured edges and ink-bleed details can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also suit short, expressive captions or labels where a handmade, roughened voice is desirable.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a scruffy, DIY character that feels intentionally imperfect. Its rough texture and bouncy proportions suggest playful irreverence—more zine, poster, or classroom marker than polished branding.
Likely intended to mimic thick hand lettering made with a brush pen or marker, preserving the natural inconsistencies of pressure, speed, and ink coverage. The design prioritizes personality and impact over refinement, aiming for an authentic distressed handmade look that feels lively and immediate.
Capitals are sturdy and simplified with rounded geometry, while lowercase maintains a casual handwritten structure (single-storey forms where expected) and a friendly, approachable presence. Numerals are bold and highly legible, with the same textured fill and slightly shaky outlines that keep the set visually cohesive.
