A handmade print face with thick, inky strokes and noticeably irregular edges that feel stamped or marker-drawn. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, open counters and softened terminals, showing small blobs and waviness that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, with compact lowercase and relatively tall ascenders/descenders, producing a casual, hand-set texture in words and lines. Numerals and capitals follow the same chunky, uneven construction for consistent color across mixed text.
Works best for short, expressive copy such as posters, cover titles, product packaging, labels, and event or café-style branding. It can also suit pull quotes and section headers where a handmade, approachable voice is desired, especially when paired with a cleaner text companion.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, with a homespun, slightly vintage character. Its roughened edges and bouncy shapes evoke craft, DIY signage, and informal storytelling rather than polished corporate typography.
Likely designed to mimic quick, confident hand printing with an inky tool, prioritizing personality and texture over geometric uniformity. The goal appears to be an easygoing display face that delivers a crafted, slightly worn impression in headlines and branding.
At display sizes the texture and terminal blobs read as intentional character, while in longer passages the busy edges can build strong visual noise. Spacing appears intentionally loose and uneven in feel, contributing to an organic, hand-lettered flow.
