A hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes, uneven contours, and visible interior texture that mimics dry ink or rough printing. Letterforms are mostly upright with slightly unstable baselines and subtly inconsistent stroke endings, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Shapes lean toward rounded bowls and softened corners, while verticals often show thicker, inkier masses contrasted by thinner connecting strokes and occasional open, sketchy counters. Spacing is irregular in a deliberate way, and the overall color on the page is bold but mottled rather than solid.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where texture and personality are desirable: posters, packaging labels, cover titles, and event or café-style signage. It can work for pull quotes or section headers, but the rough interiors and irregular spacing may feel busy at small sizes or in long paragraphs.
The font communicates a casual, crafty tone—friendly and a bit mischievous—like signage made with a marker or paintbrush. Its rough texture and imperfect forms add warmth and personality, suggesting something homemade, indie, or lightly spooky depending on context.
The design appears intended to capture the look of hand-inked lettering reproduced imperfectly, using internal texture and uneven stroke edges to create a lively, tactile impression. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over strict typographic regularity, aiming for an expressive, known-by-hand feel in display settings.
Capitals carry the strongest personality with chunky, ink-pressed stems and visibly rough interiors, while lowercase remains legible but retains the same hand-rendered wobble. Numerals share the brushy, irregular construction, with some figures feeling more calligraphic and open than strictly geometric.
