A hand-drawn, marker-like text face with rounded terminals, soft corners, and subtly uneven stroke widths that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Forms are generally open and legible, with slightly wobbly curves and intermittent bulges that suggest ink spread or rough printing. Capitals read broad and friendly, while lowercase letters keep compact proportions with modest ascenders/descenders and occasional idiosyncratic joins. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the same blunted, inked-in silhouette.
Well-suited to display sizes where its textured edges and inky character can be appreciated—such as posters, playful packaging, craft or boutique branding, and book covers. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, or captions when a casual, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a crafty, homemade energy. Its gentle roughness and uneven inking add a nostalgic, analog feel—more sketchbook and poster-marker than polished typography.
Likely intended to emulate hand-lettered marker or brush signage with a deliberately imperfect, printed-by-hand look. The design prioritizes warmth and personality over strict geometric consistency, creating an expressive texture that reads as authentic and human.
Stroke endings often appear flattened or dabbed, producing small dark spots that enhance the worn/ink-bleed character. Spacing looks slightly loose and variable, which reinforces the organic texture in running text and gives headings a relaxed, conversational cadence.
