A rough, hand-drawn sans with brushy, uneven strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are simple and open, but intentionally inconsistent, with wobbly curves, irregular stroke edges, and slight variations in character width that create a lively, analog rhythm. Counters are generally generous and shapes stay upright, while the texture suggests dry-marker or rough ink on paper rather than clean vector outlines. Numerals match the informal construction, with similarly irregular weight and subtly bouncy proportions.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, short headlines, packaging accents, labels, and promotional graphics. It can work for brief paragraphs when a deliberately rough, handcrafted voice is desired, but the distressed edge detail is most effective at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys an unpolished, human tone—casual, energetic, and slightly gritty. Its imperfect edges and loose spacing feel approachable and crafty, lending a zine-like, handmade attitude that reads as spontaneous rather than formal.
Designed to simulate quick, hand-lettered writing with a deliberately rough finish, prioritizing character and immediacy over typographic polish. The goal appears to be a friendly, handmade look that still remains readable across a full alphabet and numerals.
In longer text, the texture becomes a prominent feature: repeated strokes and rounded joins produce a mottled, stamped/painted feel. The baseline and cap line appear subtly uneven, reinforcing the hand-rendered impression while keeping overall legibility intact.
