A monoline, hand-drawn sans with subtly rounded forms and slightly uneven stroke edges that read like ink on porous paper. Terminals are mostly blunt and soft, with gentle curvature in bowls and counters and minor wobble in verticals and horizontals. The texture shows small irregularities along outlines rather than heavy distortion, keeping letterforms clean enough for continuous reading while preserving an imperfect, printed-by-hand feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same simple, open construction, with modest, natural variation across shapes.
Well suited to packaging, labels, short headlines, and poster-style copy where a handmade, tactile tone is desirable. It can also work for small blocks of text at comfortable sizes when you want legibility with a casual, imperfect texture.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a lightly weathered character that suggests analog process and human touch. It feels everyday and friendly rather than dramatic, lending a relaxed, crafted atmosphere to text.
Designed to mimic hand-rendered lettering and lightly worn print, combining simple sans structures with subtle edge breakup to evoke an analog, crafted look without sacrificing basic readability.
Spacing and proportions appear straightforward and uncluttered, with open counters and uncomplicated joins that help maintain clarity despite the roughened edges. The distressing is consistent across glyphs, acting as a surface texture more than a structural disruption.
