A hand-drawn, brush-marker style with thick strokes and visibly textured, uneven edges that suggest dry-brush or rough inking. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed with an energetic rhythm, showing casual stroke modulation and occasional wobble in curves and terminals. Counters are generally open and simple, with rounded joins and blunt endings; overall spacing feels lively and irregular in a controlled, consistent way across the set.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the textured stroke detail can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and merchandise or stickers. It can also suit casual branding elements that want a handmade feel, but the rough edges and lively spacing make it less suited to small UI text or long body copy.
The font reads as friendly and expressive, with a rough, crafty edge that keeps it from feeling polished or corporate. Its imperfect ink texture adds a scrappy, human tone, while the rounded shapes keep the mood approachable and upbeat.
Likely designed to mimic quick, confident hand-lettering made with a brush pen or marker, retaining the natural texture and irregularity of ink on paper. The goal appears to be an expressive, energetic display face that feels authentic and imperfect by design.
The texture is prominent in both straight and curved strokes, creating a printed/inked look rather than smooth outlines. Numerals follow the same brushy construction and maintain the same informal, hand-lettered character as the letters.
