A casual, hand-rendered sans with thick, monoline strokes and visibly rough, inked edges. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and softly rounded corners, giving the shapes a friendly, informal silhouette. Stroke terminals look blunted and slightly irregular, and the baseline and stroke widths wobble subtly, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Numerals match the same marker-like construction, staying bold and legible while retaining the textured outline.
Well suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where a handmade, informal character is desired—such as posters, packaging, labels, stickers, and social media graphics. It can also work for children’s or craft-adjacent branding, especially when paired with simple supporting typography.
The overall tone is approachable and crafty, like signage or notes made with a felt-tip marker on paper. The distressed edge treatment adds a lightly gritty, DIY feel without turning the texture into noise, keeping the voice more playful than aggressive.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a deliberately weathered outline, balancing charm and legibility. The intent appears to be adding human warmth and tactile texture to display typography without relying on heavy distortion.
Texture is present on nearly every stroke, suggesting dry-brush or rough print artifacts rather than clean vector edges. The font reads best when allowed some size, where the irregular contour becomes a feature and the counters stay comfortably open.
