Letters are slender and tall with a tight footprint and noticeable variation in stroke thickness, as if made with a pressure-sensitive pen. Strokes taper into sharp points and occasional hooked terminals, and the outlines show subtle wobble and hand-drawn inconsistencies that keep the texture lively. Spacing and widths shift from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven, organic cadence while remaining broadly legible in mixed-case text.
It works best where a hand-made tone is desired: posters, zines, album or event graphics, packaging accents, and editorial display lines that benefit from texture. It can also suit titles, pull quotes, and UI moments like labels or badges when used at comfortable sizes, where the thin strokes and spiky terminals have room to breathe.
This font feels raw and spontaneous, with an expressive, slightly edgy energy typical of quick marker or brush notes. Its irregular rhythm reads as personal and human, balancing playful informality with a faintly dramatic, scratchy intensity.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of handwritten print lettering—fast, characterful, and intentionally imperfect—while staying readable for short to medium strings of text. Its narrow, pointed forms suggest a desire for a distinctive voice that stands apart from smoother, rounded casual scripts.
Uppercase forms show more dramatic verticality and sharper terminals, while lowercase stays simpler and more note-like, reinforcing an informal print look. Numerals match the same narrow, slightly irregular construction, keeping the set consistent in tone across alphanumerics.
