A monoline, marker-like sans with soft, rounded terminals and visibly uneven stroke edges. The outlines feel dry-brushed or roughly printed, with small bumps and waviness that create a consistent textured perimeter across glyphs. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy with slightly irregular bowls and counters, while lowercase is similarly straightforward and open, keeping a friendly rhythm. Numerals are bold and clear, with an organic, hand-drawn construction that prioritizes legibility over geometric precision.
Well-suited to display uses where a handmade, tactile voice is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, and craft-oriented branding. It can also work for short paragraphs or captions when an intentionally casual, textured texture is appropriate, especially in larger sizes where the rough edges can be appreciated.
The overall tone is informal and tactile, suggesting something hand-made, slightly worn, and approachable. Its roughened finish reads as lively and human, adding character without becoming chaotic. The texture lends a rustic, analog mood that can feel both playful and rugged depending on setting and color.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-rendered lettering or imperfect ink transfer, capturing the feel of marker or brush strokes on porous paper. It aims to deliver an approachable sans structure while adding personality through controlled roughness and organic irregularity.
Spacing appears comfortably loose in running text, and the texture remains visible at text sizes without collapsing into noise. The irregularity is controlled and repeats consistently, giving the face a cohesive “printed-by-hand” look rather than random distortion.
