A hand-rendered, all-purpose sans with brushy strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are built from broad, slightly wobbling strokes with intermittent tapering and subtle ink-blob terminals, giving a dry-brush/marker feel. Curves are generously rounded, counters are open, and joins are occasionally lumpy, creating a lively rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes while remaining intentionally imperfect. Uppercase and lowercase share a friendly, simplified construction with modest overshoots and a loose, natural baseline.
Well suited for posters, flyers, packaging, and headline treatments where a handmade, tactile voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts, quotes, or branding elements that benefit from an imperfect, crafted look; for long body text, the lively texture may become visually busy at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a crafty, DIY energy. Its textured outlines and imperfect consistency suggest something printed by hand or painted quickly, making it feel approachable, playful, and a bit gritty.
Designed to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with a controlled level of roughness, balancing legibility with an intentionally worn, analog finish. The goal appears to be a versatile display face that injects personality and texture into contemporary layouts.
Spacing appears slightly irregular in the sample text, reinforcing the handmade character. The texture is most noticeable along curved strokes and at stroke endings, where edges look scraped or dry, producing a lightly distressed silhouette without heavy fragmentation.
