A hand-drawn print style with narrow proportions, uneven stroke edges, and a slightly jittery baseline. Strokes show modest contrast and look as if made with a dry brush or marker, creating textured terminals and occasional ink buildup. Counters are generally open, shapes are simplified, and spacing is loose and inconsistent in a natural way, producing lively rhythm rather than strict regularity.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a handmade voice is desired, such as posters, packaging, labels, menus, and social graphics. It’s especially effective at display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and playful branding, where the textured strokes and irregular rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a spirited, slightly rough character that reads as friendly and spontaneous. Its imperfect edges and varied widths add energy and a DIY feel, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, hand-painted lettering with an approachable, imperfect finish. The goal appears to be an energetic, casual texture that adds personality and warmth to display typography without becoming fully cursive or connected.
Uppercase forms are compact and upright, while lowercase letters feel more animated with occasional tall ascenders and small, simple bowls. Numerals share the same hand-rendered texture and irregular widths, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed text.
