A rough, hand-rendered sans with rounded, simplified forms and visibly irregular outlines. Strokes look brush- or marker-made, with soft corners, occasional tapering, and small wobble that creates a lively rhythm across words. Counters are generally open and generous, while terminals and joins show slight blobbing and ink spread, giving the alphabet a worn, printed-by-hand feel. Spacing appears informal, with subtly inconsistent sidebearings that reinforce the handmade character without collapsing legibility at display sizes.
Well-suited for display applications where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, craft or food packaging, merch graphics, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes when a handmade, imperfect tone is wanted, though the rough edges will be most effective at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is casual and tactile, suggesting hand lettering on paper, packaging, or signage. Its rough texture adds a gritty, down-to-earth energy that can feel friendly and approachable while still conveying a bit of edge.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-painted or marker-lettered forms with natural ink irregularities, adding character and tactility to otherwise simple letter shapes. It prioritizes an authentic, imperfect impression over geometric precision to create a distinctive distressed voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough texture and rounded construction, helping maintain cohesion in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same brushy, imperfect stroke behavior, and the distressed edges remain consistent in longer text samples.
