A casual, hand-rendered sans with uneven, dry-ink outlines and visibly roughened edges. Strokes vary in thickness within each letter, with slightly wobbly verticals and soft, rounded terminals that mimic marker or brush drag. Counters are open and irregular, and the overall rhythm is loose, with small fluctuations in stem width and curve smoothness that create an intentionally imperfect texture. Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible, while the lowercase has a compact feel with a relatively small x-height and simple, single-storey shapes.
Well-suited to display roles where texture is part of the message: packaging, posters, book covers, event flyers, and artisanal or outdoorsy branding. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a handmade tone is desired, though the rough edges may feel busy at very small sizes or in dense body copy.
The font reads as homemade and tactile, evoking rough printing, sketchbook lettering, or a stamped/inked craft aesthetic. Its irregular texture adds a friendly, imperfect energy that feels informal and slightly gritty rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the character of hand-inked lettering and imperfect reproduction, providing an easy way to add warmth, grit, and analog texture to otherwise clean layouts. The goal appears to be a legible everyday alphabet that still shows the quirks of a real tool on paper.
The distressed edge treatment remains consistent across letters and numerals, giving text a cohesive, worn-in color on the page. Spacing appears moderately generous, helping maintain readability despite the textured outlines, and the numerals share the same hand-drawn irregularity for a unified voice in mixed text.
