A compact, hand-drawn print style with brush-and-ink construction and visibly uneven stroke edges. Forms show moderate stroke variation with occasional swelling and tapering, plus small kinks and wavering curves that keep the rhythm lively. Letterfit is somewhat tight and the overall silhouette is compact, while proportions and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph for an organic, improvised feel. Uppercase shapes lean angular and gestural, with simplified counters and occasional open joins; lowercase is smaller and more minimalist, maintaining the same rough, inked texture.
Best suited to short to medium-length display copy where personality matters more than typographic neutrality—posters, album or event graphics, zines, packaging callouts, and bold headings. It can also work for captions or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a quick, spontaneous note-taking energy—expressive and slightly rough around the edges rather than polished. Its irregularity reads as personable and energetic, with a faintly edgy, underground tone reminiscent of marker lettering on posters or labels.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush marks in a readable, print-like alphabet. By preserving irregular edges, varied widths, and imperfect curves, it prioritizes authenticity and expressiveness over uniformity.
In text, the strong texture and tight spacing create a dark, dense color that works best when given some breathing room. The punctuation and numerals match the same brushy, handmade character, reinforcing a cohesive, sketchbook-like voice.
