A monoline sans with gently rounded forms and subtle, irregular edge texture that reads like ink on slightly rough paper. Strokes stay generally even but show small nicks and wobble, especially at terminals and joints, giving each glyph a lightly distressed outline. Counters are open and uncomplicated, with straightforward construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals; spacing feels a touch loose and airy, supporting readability. The overall rhythm is consistent while still preserving small human variations that keep the texture visible in text.
Works well for packaging, labels, and branding that benefits from a tactile, printed look. It can also support short editorial headings, pull quotes, and posters where a clean sans impression is desired but with added warmth and grit. The restrained texture helps it stay legible at moderate text sizes while still reading as distinctly handmade.
The tone is friendly and handmade, with a worn print character that suggests informality and authenticity. Its mild roughness adds personality without becoming noisy, lending a relaxed, indie feel rather than a polished corporate voice.
Likely designed to capture the clarity of a simple sans while introducing subtle wear and human irregularity, as if set from imperfect print or drawn with a slightly dry marker. The goal appears to be adding character and authenticity to everyday typography without sacrificing a clean, usable silhouette.
Capitals are simple and geometric-leaning, while lowercase shapes retain a clean, modern skeleton with occasional idiosyncratic curvature. Numerals share the same lightly scuffed contour, keeping the texture coherent across alphanumerics.
