A wiry, handwritten display face with a right-leaning stance and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are built from quick, brush-pen-like gestures with tapered starts and finishes, occasional blobby terminals, and slight wobble in curves and verticals. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with inconsistent widths and a loose baseline rhythm that enhances the hand-drawn feel. Counters tend to be open and slightly distorted, and the overall texture reads as dry-ink or rough marker on paper.
Best suited for short to medium-length text where texture and personality are desired—posters, event titles, packaging accents, album art, and social or editorial graphics. It also works well for pull quotes, labels, and themed materials that benefit from a rough, handmade voice rather than strict typographic uniformity.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—energetic, a bit scrappy, and deliberately imperfect. Its distressed texture and lively movement suggest spontaneity and a DIY attitude, making text feel personal rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive brush handwriting with a worn, distressed edge, prioritizing character and motion over geometric regularity. Its irregular rhythm and textured strokes aim to add immediacy and an artisanal feel to display typography.
Uppercase forms are simplified and gestural, while lowercase adds a more note-like, quick-written character; together they create a mixed-case system that feels cohesive through consistent slant and texture. Numerals share the same hand-rendered irregularity, with easily noticeable stroke taper and small idiosyncrasies that keep repeated characters from feeling mechanical.
