A hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes, chunky verticals, and visibly irregular outlines. The letterforms mix rounded bowls with tapered terminals and occasional sharp joins, producing a lively, uneven rhythm that reads like painted signage or marker lettering. Stroke contrast fluctuates within and across glyphs, and counters vary in size and openness, reinforcing a natural, non-mechanical texture. Overall proportions feel compact, with small-ish lowercase interiors and tall ascenders that add vertical bounce in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are desirable: posters, product labels, café menus, event materials, and brand marks with a handmade sensibility. It can also work for pull quotes or headers when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font conveys an approachable, crafty energy—like hand-lettered posters, café chalkboards, or DIY packaging. Its roughened ink edges and varied stroke pressure give it a warm, human tone that feels informal and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic expressive brush or marker lettering while keeping forms recognizable and consistent enough for punchy display text. The irregular edges and shifting stroke pressure aim to deliver a worn, printed-by-hand feel without losing legibility at typical headline sizes.
Capitals appear assertive and slightly condensed, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entry strokes and occasional loop-like forms (notably in letters such as g and y). Numerals follow the same brushed, irregular construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed content.
