A rounded, sans-like letterform set with soft terminals and an intentionally irregular, hand-rendered texture. Strokes show subtle wobble and edge roughness, with occasional blobby corners and uneven stroke joins that mimic ink or marker pressed onto paper. Counters are generally open and simple, bowls are generously rounded, and overall construction leans geometric while preserving noticeable inconsistency from glyph to glyph. Spacing and widths vary, giving lines a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm, and the numerals match the same informal, textured finish.
Well-suited for posters, labels, packaging, and branding that benefit from an informal, handmade voice—such as artisan goods, cafés, kids-oriented materials, and lifestyle graphics. It works best in headlines and short blocks of text where the texture and irregular rhythm can be appreciated without competing with dense reading demands.
The font conveys a friendly, homemade tone with a lightly worn, imperfect charm. Its roughened edges and casual construction suggest human touch and analog printing, creating an approachable, crafty atmosphere rather than a polished corporate feel.
Designed to emulate a hand-inked, slightly worn look while keeping letterforms simple and legible. The intent appears to balance a rounded, friendly sans structure with printed/handmade imperfections to add warmth and personality in display settings.
The distressed texture is integrated into the stroke edges rather than relying on extreme fragmentation, so letter shapes remain clear at display sizes while still reading as tactile and imperfect. Curved forms (O, C, S) emphasize the soft, rounded personality, and straight strokes retain a subtly hand-drawn wobble that keeps the overall color from feeling mechanical.
