A condensed, hand-drawn print style with heavy, slightly dry strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with tall proportions and a tight, rhythmic spacing, while stroke widths fluctuate subtly as if made with a brush marker. Curves and terminals often end in tapered or blunted tips, and counters can be small, giving the text a dense, inky texture. The overall drawing is consistent but intentionally uneven, with minor variations in width and alignment that reinforce the handmade character.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a handmade, high-impact voice is desired—posters, event promos, covers, packaging callouts, and bold social graphics. It can work for brief blurbs or pull quotes when set with ample size and breathing room, but the textured density makes it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as energetic and informal, balancing friendliness with a slightly rough, poster-like grit. Its narrow, punchy shapes and textured strokes suggest a lively DIY tone—more zine and hand-lettered signage than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering in a condensed footprint, delivering strong color and personality while staying space-efficient. Its controlled irregularity suggests a deliberate attempt to look hand-made without losing overall consistency in line and word shapes.
Uppercase forms feel tall and assertive, while the lowercase is simplified and compact, helping maintain a steady vertical rhythm in paragraphs. Numerals and punctuation match the same brushy texture, making the set feel cohesive in display settings. The dense black color can become visually busy at small sizes, but it adds impact at larger sizes.
