A hand-drawn print face with uneven, inked strokes and subtly wobbly contours. Letterforms are generally upright and compact, with narrow proportions and variable internal widths that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, but edges look torn or brushy, giving counters a slightly ragged silhouette. Terminals are blunt and irregular, and spacing is somewhat inconsistent in a natural, handwritten way.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where texture and personality are desired: posters, display headlines, packaging, book covers, and craft/handmade branding. It can also work for captions or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing to let the irregular edges breathe.
The overall tone feels informal and human, like quick marker lettering or stamped-and-inked handwriting. Its rough texture and irregular rhythm read as approachable and a bit mischievous, lending a DIY, craft-forward attitude rather than polished formality.
Designed to evoke the look of hand-rendered print lettering—casual, slightly distressed, and intentionally inconsistent—while keeping forms clear enough for practical display use. The goal appears to be adding tactile character and an authentic, analog feel to contemporary layouts.
Capitals are simple and sturdy with softened corners, while lowercase forms stay legible but intentionally imperfect, mixing rounded bowls with sharper, angular joins. Numerals share the same handmade texture and casual proportions, maintaining consistency across the set.
