A lively, hand-rendered sans with rounded forms and visibly irregular outlines that suggest brush or marker strokes. Stems and bowls show subtle wobble, uneven terminals, and occasional nicks or texture, creating a worn, printed-by-hand look. Uppercase shapes are open and simple with slightly varied widths, while the lowercase is friendly and compact with single-story forms and a loose, informal rhythm. Numerals follow the same soft geometry and roughened contour, keeping a consistent, tactile color across lines of text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture can do expressive work: product packaging, café or market signage, poster headlines, labels, and craft-oriented brand systems. It can also add an informal, handmade accent to editorial callouts and social graphics when used at sizes that preserve the rough detail.
The overall tone is approachable and human, balancing a playful warmth with a slightly rugged, analog feel. Its imperfect edges and casual structure convey authenticity and a DIY sensibility rather than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, hand-inked lettering with a gently distressed finish, delivering a friendly display voice that feels tactile and real. It prioritizes character and texture while keeping letterforms straightforward enough for readable, everyday messaging.
Spacing appears intentionally relaxed, and the texture remains prominent even at larger sizes, where the edge irregularities become part of the personality. Rounded counters and softened corners help maintain legibility despite the distressed contour treatment.
