A rough, marker-like handwritten print with chunky strokes and visibly uneven contours. Letterforms are largely upright but intentionally wobbly, with jittery outlines, occasional double-stroking, and blotty joins that create a textured, ink-scrape look. Counters tend to be open and slightly distorted, terminals are blunt and inconsistent, and overall spacing varies from glyph to glyph for a lively, hand-drawn rhythm.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are an advantage—posters, headlines, stickers, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It also works for short quotes or informal branding moments, but the heavy texture and irregular spacing make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a playful, messy confidence—like quick lettering made for emphasis rather than polish. Its scratchy texture and irregularity give it a rebellious, DIY tone that feels informal and spirited.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, hand-rendered marker lettering with a deliberately imperfect, sketchy finish. It prioritizes expressiveness and impact over typographic refinement, aiming to add energy and a handmade edge to layouts.
Capitals read as broad and punchy, while lowercase forms keep a casual printed construction with simplified shapes and occasional quirky details (notably in curves and bowls). Numerals match the same rough-drawn texture and slightly unstable baseline feel, helping the set look cohesive in short bursts of display text.
