A slanted, brush-ink style with thick strokes and visibly rough, uneven edges that feel stamped or dry-brushed. Letterforms are compact with lively, slightly inconsistent proportions and widths, giving a hand-drawn rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Counters are generally open and legible, while terminals taper and break subtly, producing a textured silhouette across words and lines.
Works best for short to medium-length display copy where texture is an asset: posters, event promotions, product packaging, café or craft branding, and merchandise graphics. It can also add personality to pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The overall tone is casual and expressive, with a warm, DIY character that leans rustic and slightly retro. Its imperfect contours and energetic slant suggest something human-made—more like a quick sign-painting or marker-brush headline than a polished corporate voice.
Designed to deliver an energetic, hand-rendered look with deliberate roughness, evoking ink-on-paper texture and informal signage. The consistent slant and bold brush shapes aim for high impact and a friendly, approachable presence in display typography.
Caps have a sturdy presence and round forms (like O/Q) read as slightly irregular rather than perfectly circular, reinforcing the handmade texture. The numerals share the same brushy weight and soft deformation, helping mixed text feel cohesive in display settings.
