A hand-drawn, all-purpose Latin with brush-pen construction and visibly roughened edges. Strokes show strong contrast between thick downstrokes and thinner connecting marks, with occasional dry-brush texture and small ink breaks. Terminals are blunt and uneven, curves are slightly wobbly, and counters tend to be rounded but irregular. Proportions are friendly and open, with a normal x-height, modest ascenders/descenders, and slightly inconsistent widths that reinforce the handmade rhythm.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, short headlines, product packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for playful branding accents or social graphics, especially at sizes large enough for the rough edges and ink texture to read clearly.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, like marker lettering on posters or packaging. Its distressed ink texture and bouncy shapes feel approachable and a bit mischievous, lending a crafty, DIY character rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with a lightly worn print feel, prioritizing warmth and authenticity over strict consistency. Its controlled irregularities and high-contrast strokes aim to deliver a lively, handcrafted look that stands out in attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms are simple and legible with softened geometry, while lowercase introduces more quirky, handwritten details. Numerals follow the same brushy contrast and irregular edge treatment, keeping a cohesive texture across letters and figures.
