A lively hand-drawn print with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly organic edges. The letterforms are slightly slanted with a bouncy baseline and irregular rhythm, creating an intentionally imperfect, human feel. Counters are generally open and rounded, terminals are soft and tapered, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the spontaneous marker/brush impression. Uppercase is broad and punchy, while lowercase stays compact with simple, readable shapes and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and social graphics where a casual handmade voice is desirable. It also works well for short bursts of copy—titles, labels, and quotes—where the expressive brush texture can be appreciated.
The font conveys an upbeat, approachable tone that feels personal and conversational. Its loose, gestural construction reads as friendly and informal, lending a warm DIY character rather than a polished corporate voice.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush or marker, prioritizing personality and immediacy over strict consistency. The goal appears to be a readable, energetic print style that feels spontaneous and human.
Texture comes through in small wobbles and uneven stroke boundaries, which adds charm at display sizes. Numerals are bold and expressive, matching the same hand-rendered energy and slightly irregular proportions seen in the letters.
