A hand-rendered, brush-marker style sans with heavy strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms show uneven stroke edges, occasional tapering at terminals, and slight wobble in verticals, creating a dry-ink/rough-print texture. Counters are generally open and simple, with rounded, slightly lumpy curves and minimal internal detailing. Overall proportions lean compact, with short extenders and a steady, readable rhythm despite intentional inconsistency in stroke finish and character width.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where a handmade, textured voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, event or menu headings, stickers, social media graphics, and branded taglines. It can also work for brief body copy in casual contexts, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the rough edge detail.
The font conveys an informal, human, and slightly gritty tone—like quick signage, notebook titling, or stamped/printed ephemera. Its rough edges and inky texture add energy and attitude, balancing friendliness with a mildly rugged, DIY feel.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering and imperfect print reproduction, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric precision. It aims to provide a ready-made handmade look for expressive display typography.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with small variations that feel like natural hand pressure rather than random distortion. Numerals match the same brushy weight and maintain clear silhouettes, while rounded letters and soft corners keep the overall color approachable.
