A handwritten, monoline style with subtly irregular stroke edges that resemble a felt-tip or dry-brush marker. Letterforms are generally simple and open, but geometry varies from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, inconsistent rhythm in bowls and diagonals. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly softened, with occasional tapered joins and wavering curves; round forms like O and o are imperfectly circular. Spacing appears loose and somewhat uneven, with a gently wandering baseline that reinforces the handmade texture in text settings.
This font suits display and short-text applications where a personal, imperfect texture is desirable: packaging and labels, event posters, book covers, craft branding, and pull quotes. It also works well for headings in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a worn-in, analog feel that suggests quick notes, sketchbook lettering, or rough printed ephemera. Its slight shakiness and textured edges give it a friendly, approachable character with a hint of whimsy rather than precision.
The design appears intended to capture natural handwriting with a slightly distressed tool texture, prioritizing warmth and personality over strict typographic regularity. The consistent monoline weight and intentionally uneven contours suggest it is meant to feel analog and unpolished in both headlines and casual reading samples.
Uppercase forms read clearly at display sizes, while lowercase retains legibility through open counters and uncomplicated construction. Numerals share the same casual, drawn-by-hand attitude, with noticeably varied widths and stroke wobble that adds charm in short strings.
