A casual, hand-drawn print with brush-like strokes and noticeable contrast between thick fills and tapered, hairline connections. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded bowls, irregular stroke edges, and occasional blobby terminals that reinforce a marker/brush feel. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are generally open and the overall construction stays upright with a gently bouncy baseline.
Works best for short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—posters, titles, packaging callouts, event flyers, and social graphics. The strong stroke contrast and variable widths make it especially effective at display sizes, where the brush texture and playful rhythm can be appreciated.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a charmingly imperfect, doodled energy. It feels approachable and slightly mischievous, like quick hand lettering used to add personality without looking polished or corporate.
Designed to simulate quick, confident hand lettering with brush/marker character—prioritizing personality, spontaneity, and an informal readability over geometric consistency.
Uppercase forms read bold and graphic, while lowercase introduces more wiry strokes and some simplified, handwritten structures. Numerals are similarly rounded and inked, matching the uneven texture and energetic weight distribution seen in the letters.
