A lively hand-drawn print with brush-like strokes and noticeable tapering at terminals. Forms are narrow overall but vary in width from glyph to glyph, creating an irregular rhythm that feels intentionally casual. Strokes show modest contrast, with pointed joins and occasional flared or teardrop ends; curves are slightly lopsided in a natural, drawn way. Counters are relatively small and the lowercase appears compact, reinforcing a tight, energetic texture in text.
Best suited to short display settings where its hand-made texture can be appreciated, such as posters, titles, packaging, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or short passages at larger sizes, but the irregular rhythm may become busy in long-form, small-size text.
The font conveys an informal, whimsical tone—friendly and a bit mischievous, like quick marker or brush lettering. Its unevenness and tapered strokes add personality and movement, making it feel human and expressive rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush or marker, prioritizing charm and individuality over strict regularity. Its narrow, tapered forms aim to create a distinctive, animated voice for informal communication.
Uppercase letters lean on sharp diagonals and spiky terminals (notably in forms like A, K, V, W, X, Y), while round letters keep a soft, brushed edge. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with simplified shapes and pointed finishes, keeping the set cohesive for display use.
