A hand-drawn sans with monoline strokes and visibly irregular contours, as if made with a fine marker or pen. Strokes show subtle wobble and occasional swelling, with softly rounded terminals and uneven joins that create a gently distressed edge. Forms are mostly open and airy, with simple, unembellished construction; curves are slightly lopsided and straight strokes aren’t perfectly vertical, producing a lively rhythm. Spacing reads loose and natural rather than mechanically uniform, and the overall texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where the hand-rendered texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging callouts, labels, event flyers, and social media graphics. It can also work for playful subheads or quotes when a relaxed, human touch is desired, but the roughness may feel busy for dense body copy at small sizes.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a lightly worn, analog character. Its imperfect outlines and relaxed geometry suggest handmade signage, notebook lettering, or DIY craft aesthetics rather than polished corporate type.
Likely designed to emulate quick, everyday hand lettering with a lightly weathered finish, prioritizing warmth and spontaneity over geometric precision. The consistent monoline construction and controlled irregularity aim to deliver a dependable, readable handmade look across a full basic set of letters and figures.
Capitals are simple and legible with a soft, rounded feel, while lowercase maintains a casual handwritten cadence; the numerals match with similarly loose, pen-drawn shapes. In longer text, the slight irregularities create a visible grain that becomes part of the personality, especially at display sizes.
