A rough, hand-rendered sans with irregular contours and a subtly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes appear as if made with a dry marker or stamped ink, producing soft corners, uneven terminals, and occasional thickened blobs along curves and joins. Counters are generally open and simple, with rounded bowls and compact interior spaces that vary slightly from glyph to glyph. Uppercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, while lowercase shows more idiosyncrasy (notably in rounded letters and the single-story shapes), reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, analog feel.
Well-suited for display settings where texture and personality are a feature: posters, flyers, zines, album artwork, event graphics, and playful packaging. It can also work for short branding phrases or labels that benefit from a handmade, distressed aesthetic, while extended body text is best kept at comfortable sizes to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, balancing a friendly, doodled quality with a distressed, worn-in texture. It reads like handmade signage or photocopied lettering—casual and approachable, with a slightly rebellious, DIY edge.
Designed to mimic imperfect, hand-inked lettering with a deliberately worn surface, prioritizing character and tactile presence over geometric precision. The intent appears to be an expressive display voice that evokes DIY printing, rough signage, and casual handwritten notes.
Spacing feels loosely consistent rather than mechanically even, which adds to the organic texture in longer lines. The numerals follow the same roughened silhouette and maintain clear, uncomplicated forms suited to quick recognition, though fine details can soften at smaller sizes due to the textured edges.
