A high-contrast, hand-rendered sans with visibly uneven stroke edges and an inked, slightly wobbly contour. Letterforms are mostly upright but intentionally irregular, with variable glyph widths and a lively rhythm that makes spacing feel organic rather than strictly mechanical. Counters tend to be simple and open, while terminals often look cut or brushed, producing small asymmetries and occasional wedge-like endings. The x-height reads on the smaller side, with comparatively tall ascenders and descenders that add a bit of vertical bounce in mixed-case settings.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a handcrafted voice is desired. It can work well for book covers, café/market signage, and playful editorial callouts, especially at medium to large sizes where the irregular edges and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is playful and human, like lettering made with a broad pen or marker for a handmade sign. Its unevenness conveys charm and approachability, leaning toward quirky, storybook energy rather than corporate neutrality. The contrast and rough edges add a slightly vintage, craft feel.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, hand-inked lettering while staying within a simple sans structure. Its goal is to provide a casual, characterful texture and a lively rhythm for display typography without relying on formal serif detailing.
Uppercase forms show especially bold, graphic moments (notably in diagonals and pointed joins), while lowercase maintains a more casual, handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same irregular, inked logic, with distinctive, slightly lopsided curves that keep the texture consistent across alphanumerics.
