A compact, hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes and visibly irregular, textured edges. Letterforms are generally upright with rounded terminals, uneven stroke edges, and slight shape wobble that suggests dry brush or rough print. Capitals are simplified and sturdy, while the lowercase adds more cursive influence—especially in letters like a, g, j, and y—creating a mixed, informal rhythm. Counters tend to be small and soft-edged, and spacing is somewhat irregular, reinforcing the handmade character.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as posters, product packaging, café menus, labels, and social graphics where a handmade, tactile feel is desired. It works well in branding for artisanal goods and informal events, and it can add character to titles or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking.
The font conveys an easygoing, crafty tone—like lettering made with a marker or brush on paper. Its roughened texture and bouncy forms feel approachable and lively, with a hint of vintage/DIY charm rather than polished corporate cleanliness.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect, weathered surface. The goal appears to be an expressive display style that reads clearly while retaining the spontaneity and texture of hand-applied ink.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a slightly worn, ink-bleed look at larger sizes. The mix of more print-like capitals with more script-leaning lowercase creates visual variety that suits expressive headlines more than long passages.
