A casual, hand-rendered sans with rounded forms and softly irregular outlines. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with subtle wobble and ink-like buildup that creates bumpy terminals and slightly uneven curves. Proportions lean friendly and open, with generous counters and a relaxed baseline rhythm; spacing feels informal, and character widths vary slightly in a natural, drawn way. Numerals and punctuation match the same sketchy, stamped-ink texture, keeping a consistent roughened silhouette across the set.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a handmade, imperfect texture is desirable—such as posters, product packaging, café menus, craft labels, and casual branding. It can also add personality to pull quotes and section headers in editorial or web layouts when set with ample size and spacing.
The texture and imperfect stroke behavior give the font a warm, human tone—more like marker lettering or a worn print than a polished digital face. It reads as approachable and lighthearted, with a hint of vintage craft or DIY signage.
Likely designed to simulate hand-drawn lettering with the charm of imperfect inking or slightly worn printing, balancing a friendly sans structure with a consistently rough edge for character.
The distressed contour is present without breaking letterforms, preserving readability while adding tactile character. Rounded joins and simplified shapes keep the overall color even, though the rough perimeter introduces a lively, speckled rhythm at text sizes.
