A hand-drawn, brush-like text face with irregular stroke edges and visible texture that suggests dry ink or rough printing. Stems are generally upright with a slightly condensed feel, while widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Curves are lumpy and slightly flattened in places, counters are small-to-medium and not perfectly symmetrical, and terminals often taper or fray as if made with a worn marker. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent roughened texture and casual construction, and the numerals follow the same informal, inked-in look.
Works best for display and short-to-medium passages where a handmade, distressed voice is desirable—posters, cover titles, pull quotes, labels, and branding for artisanal or indie offerings. It can also support themed projects (craft, rustic, quirky) when used with generous spacing and solid size to keep the texture readable.
The overall tone is crafty and informal, with a spirited, imperfect energy that feels human and unpolished in a deliberate way. Its textured edges and bouncy irregularity read as quirky, slightly gritty, and approachable rather than sleek or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush/marker writing while preserving a consistent enough alphabet for setting cohesive text. The roughened contours and irregular rhythm appear intentional, aimed at adding personality and a tactile, printed-from-real-ink feel.
In running text, the uneven stroke texture adds character but also introduces visual noise, especially where narrow joins and tight counters appear. The lowercase shows simplified, handwritten forms (notably single-storey constructions), reinforcing a casual, note-like voice.
