A heavy, hand-drawn text face with rounded forms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes look brush- or marker-made, with slightly swollen joins, uneven terminals, and intermittent rough edges that mimic dry ink or worn printing. Curves are soft and somewhat lumpy, counters are open and friendly, and spacing feels loosely set with minor per-glyph variability that reinforces the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to display applications where a handmade, rough-printed feel is desirable: posters, packaging labels, apparel graphics, album/cover art, and casual event promotions. It can work for short paragraphs in larger sizes when a relaxed, human tone is intended, but the textured edges and uneven rhythm are most effective in headlines, pull quotes, and branding accents.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a scruffy, tactile character that reads as human and unpolished rather than engineered. Its rough ink texture adds a gritty, DIY edge while the rounded shapes keep it warm and upbeat.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive brush lettering with a worn, inked finish, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric regularity. It aims to deliver an immediately human, crafted impression that stands out in thematic and lifestyle-oriented typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, hand-rendered construction, and the figures carry the same brushed texture for cohesive display and short-text use. The texture remains prominent in running sample lines, where the irregular edges become part of the voice rather than a flaw, especially at larger sizes.
