A compact, hand-drawn print face with a lively, right-leaning slant and visibly brush-like stroke edges. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with gently irregular curves and small variations in stroke thickness that suggest quick marker or dry-brush pressure. Counters are simple and often tight, terminals are rounded or slightly blunt, and the overall rhythm alternates between compressed straights and springy curves. Capitals sit tall and narrow, while lowercase shows a small x-height with relatively prominent ascenders and descenders, giving lines a slightly spiky silhouette.
Best suited to short to medium display copy where a handmade tone is desired—posters, cover titles, labels, menus, craft branding, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a casual, human voice, but the tight proportions and textured strokes may feel busy in long paragraphs or at very small sizes.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a sketchbook spontaneity that feels warm rather than polished. Its narrow, energetic shapes add urgency and charm, evoking handmade notes, indie packaging, and casual signage.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered print with a lightly brushed texture, prioritizing personality and momentum over geometric uniformity. Its condensed, slanted stance helps it feel expressive and space-efficient while maintaining a distinctly handmade character.
The texture is most apparent at joins and curve transitions, where edges wobble subtly and strokes look dry or bristled. Figures follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly uneven construction that blends naturally with the letters.
