A compact, hand-drawn print style with irregular, slightly ragged outlines that mimic a marker or brush on porous paper. Strokes show subtle swelling and tapering with visible wobble, creating medium contrast and a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, with simplified construction and occasional angular joins; spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, handmade feel. Numerals share the same loose, inked texture and slightly condensed proportions, keeping the set cohesive in display sizes.
Best suited to posters, cover treatments, album art, zines, and branding moments that benefit from a handmade, textured voice. It works well for headlines, pull quotes, labels, and short bursts of copy where the rough edges and compact shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font reads as casual and human, with a rough, sketchbook energy that feels approachable rather than polished. Its textured edges and uneven stroke behavior add a slightly gritty, DIY tone that can lean whimsical or punk depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered print—imperfect, inked, and expressive—while remaining legible enough for display typography. Its condensed proportions and textured stroke edges suggest an emphasis on personality and grit over strict regularity.
Uppercase forms are bold and attention-grabbing, while lowercase stays compact with a notably small x-height, which can make longer passages feel dense at smaller sizes. The irregular sidebearings and lively outlines add character in headlines and short lines, but they also introduce visual noise if tightly set.
