A lively, hand-drawn sans with mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from simple geometric skeletons but retain noticeable wobble, uneven curves, and slight stroke blobbing that produces a rough, inked texture. Counters are open and generous, with simplified construction in many glyphs and mild irregularities in baseline and cap alignment that reinforce the handmade rhythm. Figures follow the same informal logic, with rounded forms and occasional asymmetry that keeps the set visually consistent but intentionally imperfect.
Well-suited for display-forward applications such as posters, event graphics, and playful headlines where a handmade voice is desirable. It can also work for packaging, café or boutique branding, and craft-themed collateral, especially when used at medium to large sizes to showcase its textured outline. For longer passages, it’s best used sparingly (pull quotes, short paragraphs) to keep the roughness from becoming visually busy.
The overall tone is approachable and whimsical, like marker lettering or hand-painted signage. Its roughened edges and uneven stroke behavior add a crafty, human quality that feels warm rather than aggressive. The texture suggests analog printing or imperfect inking, lending a nostalgic, DIY character.
The design appears intended to mimic casual marker or brush lettering while preserving clear, readable silhouettes. Its controlled irregularities and roughened edges suggest an intentional distressed finish meant to add personality and an analog, DIY presence to otherwise simple sans forms.
Spacing appears moderately loose, helping the irregular outlines breathe at text sizes. The sample text shows a consistent texture across long lines, though the distressed edges and wobble are most evident at larger sizes where the ink irregularities read as a deliberate effect.
