A hand-drawn, all-purpose sans with softly irregular outlines and a dry, brush/marker-like texture. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness but wobble subtly, with rounded terminals and occasional bumpy edges that suggest worn printing or ink drag. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with simple construction and a mostly monoline feel; counters are open and shapes remain clear despite the roughness. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, handmade rhythm in both the uppercase set and the more compact lowercase.
Works well for posters, packaging, labels, and editorial headlines where a handmade, tactile feel is desired. It can also support social graphics and short UI callouts when you want an informal, human voice, especially on light backgrounds where the rough edges can remain visible.
The overall tone feels approachable and human, like quick lettering made for signs, notes, or DIY packaging. Its roughened edges add a lightly gritty, vintage-craft character without turning into heavy distortion, keeping the mood friendly and energetic.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-lettered signage with a lightly distressed print texture, balancing character with everyday legibility. It prioritizes an organic, imperfect finish over geometric precision to create warmth and authenticity in display typography.
In text, the texture is consistent enough to read comfortably at display and subhead sizes, while the irregular contour adds visual interest on repeated shapes. Numerals match the same hand-rendered logic, with simple forms and slightly uneven curves that keep them cohesive with the letters.
