A chunky, hand-drawn print style with thick, blunt strokes and visibly irregular edges that mimic marker or brush lettering. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple construction, open counters, and minimal contrast, giving the set a sturdy, poster-ready presence. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with uneven widths and slightly inconsistent joins and terminals that create an intentionally imperfect rhythm. The overall texture reads as solid black shapes with subtle waviness, rather than crisp geometric outlines.
This font performs best in short to medium-length settings where texture and personality are assets: posters, headlines, packaging accents, comic-style captions, and casual event flyers. It can also work for quotes or callouts when set with generous line spacing to keep the rough rhythm readable.
The tone is informal and expressive, leaning toward playful roughness rather than neat penmanship. Its unevenness and chunky weight suggest a DIY, zine-like attitude that feels friendly, energetic, and slightly mischievous. The look is more illustrative and characterful than typographically formal.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered marker text—bold, spontaneous, and approachable—while remaining legible in display sizes. Its controlled upright stance paired with intentionally uneven stroke edges suggests a balance between readability and an authentic handmade feel.
In longer text, the irregular spacing and varying glyph widths add personality but also increase visual noise, making it best when some looseness is desirable. The numerals and uppercase share the same handmade bluntness, supporting a consistent display voice across headlines, labels, and short phrases.
