A compact, hand-drawn sans with uneven stroke edges and softly blunted terminals that mimic a marker or rough brush. Strokes stay mostly monolinear, but show natural wobble and occasional bulging where curves turn, creating an irregular, printed-by-hand texture. Counters are open and rounded, with simplified forms and slightly inconsistent widths between glyphs that add to the informal rhythm. Spacing feels loose and forgiving, and the overall silhouette reads cleanly at display sizes despite the distressed contouring.
Works well for posters, cover lines, packaging, and label-style typography where a handmade, imperfect texture supports the message. It’s best used in headlines, short paragraphs, quotes, and branding accents, especially in contexts that benefit from an artisanal or casual feel.
The font communicates a friendly, homemade tone—more crafty than formal—suggesting human presence and spontaneity. Its roughened outlines and uneven rhythm give it a lived-in, slightly scrappy character that feels approachable and lightly rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the look of hand-lettered signage or rough marker writing while remaining broadly legible and consistent across a full alphabet and numerals. The goal appears to be an intentionally imperfect, tactile texture that adds personality to display typography without relying on extreme distortion.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent hand-rendered logic, with single-storey lowercase shapes and straightforward numerals that keep the texture cohesive across the set. The distressed effect is subtle enough to remain legible, but pronounced enough to be clearly intentional in headings and short lines.
