A loose, hand-drawn print style with subtly irregular strokes and a dry, brush-like texture at terminals. Letterforms lean on rounded bowls and open counters, with simplified construction and occasional angular joins that keep the rhythm lively. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven baseline feel and a natural, human cadence. Uppercase shapes are bold and gestural, while lowercase stays compact and simple, maintaining clarity without becoming formal.
Works well for short to medium-length display copy where a handmade voice is desirable—posters, product labels, café menus, crafts branding, and social graphics. It’s best used at sizes where the textured edges and stroke variation can be appreciated, and where an informal tone supports the message.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a spirited, slightly rough edge that feels handcrafted rather than polished. It reads as lighthearted and personable, suggesting spontaneity and an arts-and-crafts sensibility.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in a repeatable font: energetic shapes, imperfect edges, and varied proportions that preserve a drawn-by-hand character while staying readable in typical headline and caption settings.
Stroke endings often taper or fray, and curves show minor wobble consistent with marker or brush movement. Spacing feels airy in text, and the distinct, rounded numeral forms keep the set cohesive with the letters.
