A casual, rounded sans with hand-drawn construction and a consistently roughened outline. Strokes are moderately thick with soft terminals, and counters are open but partially mottled by an interior speckle/erosion texture that reads like worn ink or porous printing. Curves are slightly lumpy and joins vary subtly, creating an uneven rhythm that feels intentionally imperfect while remaining legible. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy; lowercase is compact with small bowls and tight apertures, reinforcing the font’s textured, handmade presence.
Best suited for short headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and merchandise where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for craft-themed branding, event graphics, and playful editorial callouts, especially when paired with a clean companion for body copy.
The texture and wobble give it a tactile, DIY tone—like stamped lettering, marker over rough paper, or aged print ephemera. It feels friendly and quirky rather than aggressive, with a nostalgic craft sensibility that suits informal, characterful messaging.
Designed to deliver an approachable sans voice with a deliberately weathered surface, combining simple letter skeletons with a consistent distressed treatment to suggest analog printing and handmade authenticity.
Texture is strong enough to become a defining feature at display sizes, while at smaller sizes the speckling can visually fill in counters and reduce clarity. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with rounded forms and an irregular, ink-worn finish that keeps the set cohesive.
