A lively, brushy print face with a consistent forward slant and chunky, rounded strokes. Forms are simplified and open, with softly squared counters and irregular, ink-like edges that suggest quick hand rendering. Stroke endings taper or blunt unpredictably, adding texture, while overall proportions stay upright enough for clarity. Uppercase is compact and assertive, lowercase is highly legible with a large x-height feel, and numerals are sturdy and slightly bouncy in width and stance.
Best suited to short, punchy copy where texture and motion are an asset—posters, headlines, product packaging, apparel graphics, and event or promotional flyers. It can work for brief pull quotes or labels, but the rough stroke edges and slanted stance make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as informal and energetic, with a confident marker-and-paper attitude. Its slant and textured edges create momentum and a human, spontaneous tone, making it feel approachable rather than refined.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush writing while maintaining the familiarity of unconnected print letterforms. The intention appears to balance bold presence with approachable readability, using controlled irregularity to keep the texture lively.
Spacing and character widths vary subtly, reinforcing a hand-drawn rhythm. Several shapes show deliberate simplification (single-storey-style constructions and reduced detailing), keeping the texture from becoming fussy and helping the face hold up at display sizes.
