A hand-drawn, monoline alphabet with intentionally uneven stroke edges and softly wobbled contours that mimic a felt-tip or dry-brush marker. Forms are mostly simple and open, with rounded corners, slightly irregular curves, and inconsistent stroke endings that create a lightly scuffed, analog texture. Proportions are roomy and friendly, with straightforward, upright construction and modest quirks in terminals and joins that keep repetition from feeling mechanical.
This font fits best where an authentic, hand-rendered feel is desired: posters, labels, product packaging, stickers, and casual brand headlines. It also works well for short body copy in invitations, classroom materials, or social graphics where warmth matters more than typographic precision.
The overall tone feels informal and approachable, with a crafty, lived-in character that suggests notes, packaging, or DIY signage rather than polished corporate typography. Its gentle roughness reads as human and relaxed, adding warmth and a hint of playful grit to short messages.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, natural marker lettering with just enough irregularity to feel printed-from-hand rather than digitally perfect. It prioritizes friendly legibility and texture over strict consistency, aiming for a versatile distressed look that reads as handmade across both display lines and short text blocks.
Texture is carried by subtle edge breakup rather than heavy distortion, so the face remains fairly legible while still showing clear handmade variance. Numerals and capitals share the same casual rhythm and rounded geometry, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
