A chunky, hand-drawn print style with a dry-brush texture and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified geometry and rounded terminals, but they retain natural wobble and slight angle variation typical of marker or brush lettering. Strokes are heavy and fairly consistent in overall weight while showing subtle internal roughness and occasional stroke swell from pressure. Spacing is loose and lively, with uneven widths and a bouncy baseline feel that reads intentional rather than sloppy.
Best suited for short display copy where texture and personality are desirable: posters, product packaging, labels, social graphics, and merchandise. It also works well for children’s or hobby-themed materials and casual branding accents, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges can be appreciated.
The font conveys an informal, friendly tone with a slightly scrappy, DIY character. Its textured fills and imperfect contours add energy and approachability, suggesting hand-made signage, doodles, and casual editorial accents rather than polished corporate typography.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a dry-brush finish—prioritizing character, warmth, and immediacy over strict uniformity. The consistent heft and simplified forms suggest an intention to remain readable while still feeling human and tactile.
Capitals are stout and simplified, while lowercase remains compact and punchy, keeping word shapes clear even with the rough texture. Numerals match the same brushy, cut-paper silhouette, staying legible at display sizes while retaining the handmade grit.
