A lively, hand-rendered text face with brush-pen construction and visibly textured strokes. Letterforms are upright with high-contrast modulation, where heavy downstrokes pair with tapering, sometimes dry-brushed terminals that create slightly ragged edges. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a variable rhythm and an uneven baseline/contour that feels intentionally informal. Counters are generally open and generous, while joins and curves show natural wobble and occasional ink build-up, reinforcing the drawn-on-paper character.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where texture and human irregularity are desirable: posters, headings, packaging labels, book covers, pull quotes, and themed graphics. It can also suit menus or signage-style layouts when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to let the rough stroke edges breathe.
The overall tone is personable and imperfect in a deliberate way—more like quick signage or a marker/brush note than polished typography. Its roughened texture adds a slightly gritty, analog energy that can feel crafty, outdoorsy, or DIY, while still remaining friendly and readable at display sizes.
Designed to capture the look of expressive brush lettering with distressed ink edges, prioritizing personality and analog texture over strict uniformity. The variable proportions and rough terminals suggest an intention to evoke handcrafted print and worn mark-making in a cohesive, legible set.
Uppercase forms read as bold, poster-like gestures, while the lowercase leans toward a simplified handwritten print with a compact x-height and tall ascenders/descenders. Numerals match the same brush texture and irregular stroke endings, keeping a consistent handmade voice across letters and figures.
