A hand-drawn, mixed-case design with narrow overall proportions and lively, uneven stroke texture. Letterforms are built from slightly wobbly, brush-like outlines with visible roughness along edges, creating a distressed, inked feel rather than clean geometry. Strokes taper and vary subtly, counters stay fairly open, and spacing is intentionally irregular, producing a natural, non-mechanical rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited for short to medium-length settings where texture is an asset: posters, display headlines, packaging callouts, craft or artisanal labeling, and book or album covers. It can work in supportive text at larger sizes when a deliberately imperfect, hand-made voice is desired.
The font reads informal and approachable, with a crafty, homemade tone. Its rough edges and sketchy movement add personality and a lightly mischievous energy, evoking signage made with a marker or dry brush rather than a polished brand system.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, confident hand lettering with worn, imperfect edges, balancing straightforward readability with expressive texture. Its narrow stance and consistent roughness suggest a focus on creating an informal display face that brings personality and a tactile, printed-by-hand feel to modern layouts.
Capitals are simple and readable, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and variation, which increases texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with irregular curves and slightly varied widths that reinforce the organic, distressed character.
