A heavy, hand-drawn sans with rounded, blunted terminals and uneven stroke edges that create a rough-printed look. Letterforms are simple and open, with subtly wobbly curves, irregular counters, and small internal gaps/scratches that add texture without collapsing the shapes. Proportions lean slightly condensed in places, and spacing feels lively rather than mechanically even, reinforcing an informal rhythm across lines of text.
Well suited to display roles such as posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, merchandise graphics, and social media headlines. It also works for short paragraphs when set generously, especially in contexts aiming for an informal, hand-made feel.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a crafty, homemade character that reads as spontaneous and personable. Its roughened edges and inky texture add a touch of mischief and grit, making it feel energetic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic a quick marker or brush lettering style with deliberate roughness, capturing the charm of imperfect, tactile production. It prioritizes personality and impact over strict geometric consistency, aiming for a lively, human tone.
Texture is present inside many strokes, so very small sizes or low-contrast backgrounds may reduce clarity; it performs best where the rough details can breathe. The numerals and lowercase share the same hand-rendered logic, keeping the set cohesive in mixed-case settings.
