A condensed, brushy sans with irregular stroke edges and visible texture that mimics marker or dry-brush ink. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional blobby joins and small voids that create a worn, stamped look. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with narrow proportions and compact counters that keep the text dense and punchy.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, packaging accents, sticker-style graphics, social media titles, and event promotions. It can also work for short quotes, book covers, or themed branding that benefits from a hand-rendered, slightly weathered feel; for longer passages, the dense texture is likely more effective in larger sizes.
This font feels playful and hand-made, with a casual, slightly mischievous tone. Its rough, inked texture adds an energetic, imperfect charm that reads as approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to simulate quick hand-lettering with imperfect ink coverage, combining condensed proportions with a deliberately rough surface. Its strong modulation and irregularity prioritize personality and impact over neutrality, aiming for a crafted, expressive voice in headlines.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-inked construction, while numerals match the same rough, brush-textured treatment. The sample text shows strong visual presence with tight, narrow word shapes and a noticeable dry-ink grain that becomes a key part of the font’s character.
