A hand-rendered sans with gently rounded terminals, slightly condensed proportions, and subtly uneven widths across letters. Strokes show medium contrast and a brush-ink feel, with visible interior speckling and roughened edges that mimic dry ink or worn printing. Counters are simple and open, ascenders are tall and narrow, and the overall rhythm is lively with small irregularities in stroke weight and curvature that keep the texture consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font suits short-to-medium display copy where a handmade, tactile texture is desirable: posters, product packaging, labels, café menus, and brand marks that aim for an artisanal or casual feel. It can also work for pull quotes and social graphics where the distressed ink texture adds atmosphere without sacrificing basic legibility.
The tone is informal and approachable, with a crafty, analog character that feels like lettering made with a marker or brush pen. Its worn texture adds a vintage, screen-printed vibe, while the narrow, upright stance keeps it readable and energetic rather than messy.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-lettered brush/marker forms with a consistent distressed texture, balancing a narrow upright structure for clarity with organic imperfections for personality and warmth.
Caps read clean and poster-friendly, while the lowercase introduces more personality through varied joins and slightly bouncy shapes. Numerals follow the same ink-worn texture and maintain a straightforward, sign-painting simplicity that pairs well with the alphabet set.
