A rough, hand-drawn marker style with thick, simplified strokes and rounded terminals. The outlines show visible texture and uneven edges, giving a dry-brush/inked look with slight wobble and irregular stroke mass. Letterforms are compact with minimal internal detailing, open counters, and a gently bouncy baseline rhythm that keeps lines lively while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short bursts of text such as posters, packaging callouts, social posts, and headlines where the textured strokes can read clearly. It also works well for labels and craft-themed branding elements that benefit from a handmade, imperfect finish.
The overall tone feels approachable and craft-forward, with an easygoing, human presence. Its imperfect texture and casual construction suggest spontaneity and warmth, leaning playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush/marker lettering with deliberate roughness, delivering a tactile, printed-by-hand feel for expressive display typography.
Capitals read as chunky, poster-like shapes, while the lowercase has a note-like, handwritten energy. Numerals share the same rough texture and rounded forms, supporting a consistent, hand-rendered set across letters and figures.
