A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, brushy strokes and visibly irregular edges that create a dry-brush texture. The letterforms are generally upright but loosely constructed, with uneven stroke endings, occasional tapering, and a lively wobble in verticals. Counters are small and sometimes partially pinched by heavy strokes, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, hand-rendered rhythm.
This font works best for short display text where texture and personality are an advantage—posters, cover art, packaging labels, and editorial callouts. It can also support playful branding accents or social graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve its rough edges.
The overall tone is playful and scruffy, with a lo-fi, DIY energy that feels spontaneous rather than polished. Its rough texture and bouncy proportions give it a friendly, mischievous character suited to expressive, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, hand-painted lettering with a dry-brush finish, prioritizing personality and texture over uniformity. Its narrow, punchy shapes aim to deliver strong visual impact while maintaining an approachable, informal feel.
Caps have a tall, narrow silhouette with slightly inconsistent heights and spacing that reads deliberately imperfect. Lowercase forms keep a simple printed construction with short extenders and minimal refinement, and the numerals match the same rough, brush-painted texture for consistent color in display settings.
