A hand-drawn print style with thin, slightly wobbly strokes and visibly uneven edges, as if made with a dry pen or brush on textured paper. Shapes are simplified and mostly monoline, but with natural swelling and tapering at turns and terminals. Counters are open and somewhat lopsided, and the baseline and cap-height feel lightly unsettled, creating a lively rhythm. Overall proportions are compact and somewhat tall, with occasional quirky asymmetry and inconsistent stroke endings that reinforce the handmade look.
Best suited for display typography where the irregular texture can be appreciated—posters, book covers, themed event materials, packaging, and short headlines. It also works well for DIY branding, craft labels, and playful editorial callouts where a human, imperfect voice is desirable.
The font reads as casual and slightly spooky-crafty, with a storybook or folk-art personality. Its rough texture and irregular rhythm give it an aged, homemade tone—more charming than polished—suggesting zines, labels, and hand-lettered notes.
The design appears intended to simulate quick hand-lettering with a slightly distressed edge, balancing readability with a deliberately imperfect, organic texture. It aims to feel personal and crafted rather than mechanical, adding atmosphere and character to short-form text.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible while retaining ragged contours; lowercase shows more characterful variation, including narrow joins and occasional hook-like terminals. Numerals match the same scratchy texture and uneven curve tension, keeping the set cohesive. The texture is strong enough to be part of the design, so it will look more intentional at display sizes than at very small text sizes.
