A brush-drawn display face with thick, tapering strokes and visibly uneven edges that preserve a marker/paint texture. Letterforms lean slightly and vary in width, producing a lively rhythm with irregular counters and occasional flare-like terminals. Capitals are tall and assertive, while lowercase forms are compact and simplified, with single-storey shapes and a generally quick, gestural construction. Numerals match the hand-rendered feel with rounded, ink-heavy curves and inconsistent stroke endings that emphasize the drawn quality.
Well-suited to short display settings where a hand-painted voice is an asset: posters, headlines, product packaging accents, social graphics, and punchy callouts. It can also work for branding elements that want an informal, crafty feel, but is better reserved for brief passages rather than long-form reading.
The font reads as spontaneous and personable, like quick hand-lettering made for attention rather than perfection. Its lively stroke modulation and rough texture give it an energetic, slightly mischievous tone that feels approachable and informal.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush lettering—prioritizing gesture, texture, and personality over strict typographic regularity. Its forms aim to feel human and energetic, lending a handcrafted signature to titles and emphasis text.
At larger sizes the textured stroke edges and tapered terminals add character, while at small sizes the roughness and uneven widths can reduce clarity, especially in dense text. The irregular baseline and varied internal spaces contribute to an organic, hand-made cadence that works best when some looseness is desirable.
