A slanted, handwritten display face with a loose, sketch-pen construction. Strokes are predominantly monoline but built from multiple overdrawn lines, creating a layered outline and natural-looking wobble. Terminals are tapered and slightly ragged, counters are open and irregular, and curves show small kinks that keep the rhythm lively rather than polished. Uppercase forms lean narrow and quick, while the lowercase is compact with a restrained x-height and long, energetic ascenders and descenders; numerals follow the same scribbly, multi-stroke logic.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where a handmade, imperfect texture is desirable—posters, headlines, cover treatments, packaging callouts, and zine or flyer graphics. It can also work for casual branding accents and social graphics when you want an energetic, hand-rendered voice.
The overall tone feels informal and human, like quick marker lettering on a poster or notebook page. Its jittery, double-traced contours add a slightly rebellious, distressed edge while still reading as friendly and approachable.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive handwritten lettering with visible retracing, delivering a deliberately imperfect, distressed feel that stays legible at display sizes while adding personality and motion.
Texture comes primarily from repeated strokes and slight misregistration rather than heavy grunge breakup, so the roughness reads as hand-drawn motion. Spacing appears loosely set and letterforms vary subtly in width, reinforcing the spontaneous, handmade character.
