A lively, hand-drawn print face with a forward slant and visibly variable stroke thickness that mimics brush or marker pressure. Letterforms are loosely constructed with rounded turns, occasional sharp terminals, and subtle wobble in curves and stems, producing an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Proportions are uneven in a natural way, with compact lowercase and a relatively small x-height, while ascenders and capitals take on more visual presence. Counters are open and airy, and spacing feels hand-set, contributing to an animated, non-mechanical texture in lines of text.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a handmade feel is desired—posters, packaging callouts, book or zine covers, invitations, and pull quotes. It can also suit branding accents and headers, especially when you want an informal, crafted personality rather than a polished typographic finish.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick handwritten notes or casual signage. Its slightly energetic slant and inky texture add warmth and a touch of spontaneity, keeping the voice light, approachable, and a bit quirky.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident hand lettering—inked, slightly slanted, and rhythmically irregular—while staying readable in phrases and headlines. The goal appears to be an expressive, human texture that injects warmth and character into display typography.
The alphabet shows consistent hand-pressure cues across curves and joins, with some glyph-to-glyph irregularities that read as deliberate rather than accidental. Numerals follow the same brushy construction, pairing well with the letters for mixed editorial or display snippets.
