A casual, hand-rendered sans with rounded, slightly condensed forms and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms look like they were drawn with a dry marker or brush pen, producing soft corners, mild wobble in straights, and occasional thickened terminals. Proportions are simple and open, with generous counters and uncomplicated construction, while spacing and stroke finish vary just enough to keep a lively, imperfect rhythm. Numerals match the same informal, inked texture and maintain clear silhouettes at display sizes.
This style suits short-to-medium display copy where the textured, handmade feel is part of the message—posters, event promos, packaging, labels, and craft-oriented branding. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or social graphics, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample size to let the edge texture read.
The overall tone is friendly and handmade, with a lightly rugged, worn-in texture that reads as human and approachable. Its irregularities add personality and a tactile, craft feel, leaning more playful than gritty while still conveying a distressed, printed-by-hand character.
The design appears intended to simulate an informal hand-lettered marker/brush look with controlled roughness, offering a readable, upbeat display voice that feels personal and slightly weathered.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, simplified geometry, and the texture is carried through consistently across the set rather than appearing as isolated damage. The roughness is concentrated at edges and terminals, suggesting natural ink spread or dry-stroke drag rather than sharp chipping.
