A hand-drawn sans with rounded, open forms and softly irregular outlines that mimic brush or marker lettering. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, but edges wobble and terminals look blunt and slightly frayed, creating a printed-from-ink texture. Counters are generous and simple, with a loose, friendly rhythm; proportions are broadly set and spacing feels relaxed, with small variations that reinforce the handmade character.
Works well for short-to-medium text in display contexts where a handmade, approachable tone is desired, such as posters, packaging, covers, and brand marks for artisan or small-batch products. It can also suit pull quotes and social graphics, especially when a warm, imperfect texture is preferable to a clean geometric sans.
The font reads as informal and human, with a sketchbook, DIY energy. Its roughened contours add a lightly distressed, analog feel—more crafty than grungy—giving text a personable, slightly whimsical voice.
Likely designed to simulate casual hand lettering with an inked, slightly worn edge, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over strict precision. The goal appears to be an easygoing display face that stays legible while still feeling authentically drawn.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same straightforward, unadorned construction, while the uneven stroke boundaries keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same casual drawing style, with rounded shapes and subtly inconsistent curves that help maintain the organic texture in mixed copy.
