A slanted, brush-like sans with rounded terminals and visibly inked edges that create a lightly distressed, printed texture. Strokes swell and taper with a marker/brush rhythm, producing lively contrast and soft corners rather than sharp joins. Proportions feel friendly and open, with generous curves in bowls and a slightly bouncy baseline impression; widths vary naturally across letters, reinforcing an informal, hand-drawn cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are welcome: posters, event promos, casual branding, packaging accents, and apparel graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or social graphics when set with comfortable spacing to preserve its brushy detail.
The font reads upbeat and approachable, with a crafty, hand-lettered energy that feels nostalgic and human. Its soft rounding and inky texture add warmth and motion, suggesting spontaneity rather than precision.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering with a lightly worn print character, balancing readability with a lively, handcrafted texture for expressive display typography.
Uppercase forms stay simple and legible while retaining the brush swell, and the lowercase shows an especially handwritten feel in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same rounded, inked construction, maintaining consistency across the set.
