A handmade, print-like sans with softly irregular contours and visible texture throughout the strokes, suggesting uneven inking or worn stamping. Terminals are blunt and slightly rounded, with subtle wobble in verticals and curves that keeps the rhythm lively without collapsing legibility. Counters are generally open and generous, while joins and corners show small nicks and dents that create a consistent distressed surface. The overall construction stays simple and upright, balancing sturdy stroke widths with a lightly uneven baseline and varied character widths.
Best suited to display and short text where the textured edge can be appreciated: posters, product packaging, café or market signage, labels, and craft-focused branding. It can also work for editorial headlines or pull quotes when a warm, analog tone is desired, especially on light backgrounds that preserve the distressed details.
The font communicates a friendly, human touch—more handmade than engineered—while the distressed surface adds a vintage, well-used feel. It reads as casual and approachable, with just enough grit to feel crafty and tactile rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-printed or hand-drawn lettering with a subtly worn finish, combining straightforward letterforms with tactile imperfections. It aims to feel authentic and approachable while remaining clear enough for common display use.
Uppercase forms are bold and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable skeleton with occasional quirky proportions. Numerals follow the same rough-ink texture, keeping the set cohesive for headings and short statements.
