A hand-drawn sans with monoline construction and deliberately irregular outlines. Strokes show visible wobble and roughened edges, with occasional double-stroked or overdrawn contours that create a lightly distressed texture. Counters are generally open and round, terminals are blunt and inconsistent, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the set an uneven, human rhythm. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric at their core, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height and loose spacing that reads like quick marker lettering.
Best suited to display use such as posters, cover titles, packaging callouts, and branding that benefits from a handmade or crafty voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a casual, imperfect texture, but the rough edges and variable forms are more effective in larger settings than in dense body text.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a whimsical, slightly scruffy finish that feels handmade rather than engineered. Its imperfect stroke behavior suggests spontaneity and craft, lending an approachable, indie character.
The design appears intended to emulate quick hand lettering made with a marker or pen, preserving natural wobble and rough edges for a lightly worn, printed look. It prioritizes personality and texture over strict uniformity, aiming for an approachable, thematic display presence.
The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes where the uneven edges and overdrawn strokes are visible; at smaller sizes it can read as a soft blur or jitter. Rounded characters like O/C/G and numerals show the most sketch-like contour variation, reinforcing the distressed, analog feel.
