A hand-drawn print face with dry-brush, slightly scratchy strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and generally narrow, with irregular curves and subtly wobbly verticals that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are open and simplified, and round letters like O and Q feel slightly lopsided and organic rather than geometric. Spacing is loose and variable, with small inconsistencies in stroke join points and edge texture that reinforce a made-by-hand look.
This font works best for short to medium-length display settings where a hand-rendered feel is desirable—posters, packaging labels, book covers, social graphics, and informal headlines. The textured strokes and irregular rhythm can add character in larger sizes, while extended body text may feel busy due to the deliberate roughness.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a lightly rough, DIY character. Its uneven stroke texture and quirky proportions give it a friendly, playful voice that feels more like marker or brush lettering than a polished text face.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush/marker-like texture, prioritizing personality and authenticity over strict uniformity. It aims for a natural, human rhythm while keeping the letters unconnected for straightforward readability in display use.
The texture is most apparent on curved strokes and at terminals, where the line edges appear slightly frayed. Numerals and capitals match the same casual construction, maintaining consistent roughness across the set while allowing natural variation from glyph to glyph.
