A heavy, brush-like script with rounded terminals and softly irregular edges that mimic dry-brush or worn print. Strokes swell and taper subtly, with occasional ink build-up creating blobby joints and uneven counters. The letterforms sit on a lively, bouncing baseline with a consistent rightward slant, and overall spacing feels open and casual rather than tightly connected. Capitals are prominent and decorative, while lowercase maintains a compact, short-bodied feel with simplified, hand-drawn shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where texture and personality are assets—posters, packaging fronts, labels, café menus, event flyers, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for branding accents or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes where the distressed edges remain legible.
The font reads as informal and characterful—part vintage sign lettering, part playful handmade marker. Its roughened texture adds warmth and grit, suggesting something crafted, homespun, and slightly mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-rendered look with built-in wear and ink variation, evoking analog printing and brush lettering. It prioritizes expressive texture and a friendly, energetic rhythm over crisp geometry or long-form readability.
Numerals and key shapes (like S, a, e, and g) retain the same textured, inked-in rhythm as the letters, helping mixed content feel cohesive. The texture is pronounced enough to be a defining feature, especially in smaller internal spaces where counters can close up visually.
