A chunky, hand-drawn sans with rounded terminals, slightly uneven curves, and subtly irregular contours. Stroke edges show a rough, inked texture with occasional interior scuffing, creating a printed/marker feel rather than clean vector geometry. Proportions are friendly and open, with simplified forms and a gentle, bouncy baseline rhythm; widths vary from glyph to glyph, adding to the casual, handmade consistency. Numerals and capitals maintain the same thick, textured construction, and counters stay generally generous for a dark, sturdy color on the page.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short promotional copy where a handmade, tactile voice is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, stickers, and craft-themed branding, plus playful editorial uses such as book covers, chapter openers, and pull quotes.
The overall tone is warm, informal, and a bit mischievous—like hand-lettering made with a felt-tip marker on paper. Its roughened texture adds a vintage craft energy and a lightly worn, screen-printed attitude, making text feel approachable rather than corporate.
Likely designed to emulate hand-drawn marker lettering with a deliberately imperfect, worn print texture. The goal appears to be an approachable display face that feels human, crafty, and energetic while remaining legible in bold headline settings.
The distressed texture reads best at display sizes, where the edge chatter and inner streaking remain visible and intentional. In longer passages the dense stroke weight can build darkness, so extra spacing and shorter line lengths can help preserve clarity.
