A rough, hand-rendered sans with uneven strokes and visibly irregular outlines, as if made with a dry brush or worn marker. Forms are mostly simple and open, with slightly pinched curves, inconsistent terminals, and occasional wobble in verticals and diagonals. Stroke color and edge texture vary from letter to letter, creating a blotchy, printed-on-porous-paper look that reads as intentionally imperfect rather than geometric. Spacing feels loose and human, with modest inconsistencies that add character while keeping the overall rhythm legible.
Works best for display settings where texture is an asset—posters, album/playlist artwork, book covers, and packaging or labels that want a handmade, stamped feel. It can also suit short UI or social graphics headlines, but the distressed edges are likely to perform best at medium to large sizes rather than long body text.
The tone is informal and tactile, suggesting DIY signage, sketchbook notes, or well-used packaging stamps. Its distressed texture adds grit and a lightly rebellious edge, while the friendly, rounded construction keeps it approachable. Overall it conveys a scrappy, analog authenticity suited to playful or rustic themes.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect, analog lettering with a deliberately worn print texture, offering an easy way to inject handcrafted character without fully sacrificing readability. The goal appears to be a flexible display face that feels personal, gritty, and lightly playful across headlines and branding accents.
The texture is most noticeable in straight stems and at joins, where edges appear frayed and slightly thickened, giving a worn ink effect. Numerals share the same hand-drawn wobble and simplified construction, supporting cohesive use in headings and short callouts.
