A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are simplified and upright-leaning, with irregular stroke endings that resemble dry-brush or marker texture. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm, while counters are generally small and apertures tend to be tight. Spacing and widths feel loosely tuned, reinforcing an organic, drawn-on-paper look rather than mechanical precision.
Best suited for display contexts where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headers, apparel graphics, album or event artwork, and packaging that benefits from a handmade feel. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes where the rough edges and ink texture can be appreciated without clogging.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a scrappy, handmade character that reads as approachable and slightly rebellious. Its rough texture and uneven rhythm give it a zine-like, street-poster attitude while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering made with a brush pen or marker, prioritizing character and immediacy over typographic regularity. Its compact, energetic forms aim to add a human, tactile voice to short statements and branding moments.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered texture, with distinct, slightly quirky silhouettes that help differentiation in short phrases. Numerals carry the same brushed construction, with varied widths and a casual, hand-lettered stance.
