A handwritten sans with deliberately uneven, slightly wobbly strokes and rough, broken edges that mimic dry-pen or chalk-on-paper texture. Letterforms are simple and open, with rounded curves and subtly irregular terminals; stroke weight stays fairly consistent while line quality varies, producing a natural, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-drawn feel while remaining generally legible in continuous text.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a handcrafted, imperfect texture is a feature—posters, cover lines, packaging callouts, labels, and display typography for creative brands. It can also suit editorial pull quotes or headings when you want an approachable, hand-rendered voice without formal calligraphy.
The overall tone feels informal and human, like quick notes or hand lettering made for a friendly sign. The distressed texture adds a modestly gritty, tactile character that reads as worn and analog rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of casual handwriting while adding a distressed surface that suggests print wear or dry media. The aim appears to be legibility with personality—keeping familiar, simple shapes but letting texture and irregularity provide character.
Capitals are straightforward and slightly softened, while lowercase forms keep a single-storey, pen-drawn simplicity with occasional quirky proportions. Numerals follow the same rough, sketched construction, maintaining visual continuity across the set.
