A compact, hand-drawn print style with narrow proportions and visibly textured stroke edges that suggest a marker or dry brush. Strokes are mostly monolinear with slight pressure variation, producing medium contrast and a soft, irregular outline. Letterforms are upright with a bouncy baseline and uneven widths, giving the set a lively rhythm; counters tend to be open and rounded, and terminals often finish bluntly with subtle wobble. The lowercase appears relatively small compared to the capitals, reinforcing a short x-height impression and an informal, note-like color on the page.
Best suited for short to medium text where personality is the priority: posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, event flyers, book covers, and pull quotes. It can also work for casual UI accents (labels, badges) when used sparingly and given enough size and spacing.
The font feels approachable and spontaneous, like quick handwritten labeling or a casual poster headline. Its imperfect edges and varied shapes create a human, crafty tone that reads playful rather than formal, with a slightly rugged, DIY energy.
Designed to capture the look of quick, hand-rendered lettering with a slightly brushy texture and an intentionally uneven rhythm. The goal appears to be an informal, human voice that stands out through organic irregularity rather than typographic precision.
The texture becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the stroke roughness and small inconsistencies read as intentional character. At smaller sizes the same irregularities can reduce crispness, so careful sizing and contrast can help maintain legibility in longer passages.
