A lively hand-drawn print style with brushlike strokes, tapered terminals, and slightly ragged edges that suggest a marker or dry brush. Forms lean forward with an uneven baseline and irregular spacing, creating a natural, written rhythm rather than strict typographic alignment. Stroke weight varies subtly within letters, with occasional blobby joins and sharp flicks that add texture. Counters are compact and shapes are simplified, prioritizing gesture and character over geometric precision.
Works best for short to medium display text where a handmade voice is desirable—posters, cover titles, packaging accents, menu headings, and social graphics. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers, but the textured irregularity may reduce comfort at very small sizes or in dense paragraphs.
The font feels spontaneous and personable, with a raw, sketchbook quality that reads as informal and energetic. Its slight wobble and textured edges convey a handcrafted authenticity that can feel playful, gritty, or handmade depending on context.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, emphasizing gesture, texture, and individuality. The overall intention appears to be a distinctive, human tone that stands out in branding and display contexts without relying on formal calligraphic structure.
Capitals are bold and attention-grabbing, while lowercase maintains a quick handwritten flow with occasional idiosyncratic shapes. Numerals match the same drawn texture and forward motion, making them suitable for display use where personality is more important than neutrality.
