A hand-drawn print style with brush-pen construction and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, slightly bouncy baseline and irregular sidebearings that create a variable rhythm in words. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and occasional pooling at joins, giving a painted, marker-like texture. Counters are open and simplified, terminals are blunt or softly tapered, and overall proportions skew compact with tall ascenders and modest, rounded bowls.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, product packaging, social media graphics, and friendly branding where a handmade tone is desired. It can work for subheads or brief captions when given enough size and spacing to keep the textured strokes from crowding.
The font reads as informal and human, with a spontaneous, sketchbook energy. Its textured strokes and slightly inconsistent shapes add charm and approachability, making it feel crafty and conversational rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering in unconnected, printable forms—prioritizing personality, texture, and an analog feel over strict uniformity. The goal appears to be an expressive, legible hand-rendered voice that stands out in display settings.
Consistency comes more from stroke tool and texture than from strict geometry, so repeated letters can feel intentionally varied. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic and remain clear at display sizes, while the narrow fit and high contrast can make dense paragraphs feel busy if set too small.
