A compact, humanist-leaning sans with softly rounded forms and subtly uneven contours, as if printed with slightly over-inked type or drawn with a dry marker. Strokes are mostly monolinear but show natural swelling, minor wobble, and intermittent edge fray, producing a consistent textured silhouette. Counters stay open and legible, terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharply cut, and curves (O, C, S) read smooth but imperfect. The overall rhythm is steady and readable while retaining enough irregularity to feel tactile and analog.
Works well for posters, packaging, labels, and book covers where an analog, worn texture can carry the visual voice. It also suits editorial pull quotes, headings, menus, and branded collateral that benefits from a friendly, craft-forward feel, especially at medium to larger sizes where the edge texture can be appreciated.
The texture and gentle inconsistency give the face a warm, handmade tone—suggesting craft, small-batch printing, and nostalgic ephemera. It feels approachable and casual rather than polished, with a hint of weathered authenticity that suits storytelling and themed design.
Likely designed to capture the look of imperfect ink on paper—combining straightforward, readable letterforms with a controlled roughness to evoke vintage print and handmade signage.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified drawing style, with slightly soft joins and simplified shapes that keep wordforms clear even with the distressed edges. Numerals match the same blunt, inked treatment, supporting cohesive display and short-text use.
