A hand-drawn, brushy print style with chunky strokes and lightly ragged edges that leave a visible marker/paint texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with rounded terminals and slightly uneven stroke widths, giving a natural, human rhythm. Proportions feel compact and somewhat condensed, with simple, open counters and occasional asymmetry that keeps lines lively without becoming chaotic. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, sketched consistency across the set.
Well suited for short-form display uses where a friendly, handcrafted feel is an asset—posters, packaging, labels, event flyers, social graphics, and casual branding. It can also work for playful pull quotes or section headers, especially when you want the typography to feel drawn rather than typeset.
The font projects an informal, personable tone—like quick signage or a handwritten note made with a thick marker. Its soft, imperfect outlines and bouncy rhythm make it feel approachable and energetic, with a mild quirky charm rather than a polished or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand lettering made with a brush pen or thick marker, prioritizing warmth and personality over geometric precision. It aims for quick readability while preserving the natural irregularities that signal an authentic, handmade mark.
At larger sizes the textured edges and brush artifacts become a defining feature; at smaller sizes the roughness can soften and letter shapes may feel denser due to the heavy stroke and compact proportions. The numerals match the same handmade construction and weight, maintaining a cohesive presence in mixed text.
