A compact, hand-drawn sans with slim proportions and a slightly bouncy baseline. Strokes feel marker- or brush-like, showing subtle tapering, wobble, and dry-ink texture along edges. Terminals are mostly rounded and softly blunted rather than sharp, with irregular curves and gentle asymmetries that keep forms lively. Spacing and widths vary across letters, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand rhythm while remaining readable in continuous text.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a casual, handcrafted voice is desirable—such as posters, product labels, packaging accents, café or market signage, and social graphics. The narrow build can help fit longer titles into tight spaces while keeping a distinctive, textured presence.
The overall tone is friendly and human, with a lightly rugged, worn-in texture that suggests handmade signage or quick brush lettering. Its narrow, upright stance reads energetic and conversational rather than formal, giving headlines a playful, approachable character.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with natural imperfections and slight wear, providing an authentic handmade look without sacrificing legibility in typical display sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered texture, and numerals follow the same soft, inked construction. The texture is noticeable but not overly noisy, so the face keeps a clear silhouette while still conveying a distressed, printed-by-hand feel.
