A hand-drawn, marker-like sans with rounded forms and visibly rough, layered strokes. Letterforms show uneven ink density, slight wobble in stems, and irregular edges that create a printed-from-a-scan texture. Counters are generally open and round, with occasional stroke overlap and small breaks that add grit without collapsing legibility. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency.
Works well for short-to-medium text in display settings where texture is an asset: posters, event promos, apparel graphics, packaging, and casual branding. It can also support larger-size pull quotes or social media visuals where a handmade voice is desirable, while very small sizes may lose some of the textured detail.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a friendly, slightly scrappy energy. The textured strokes suggest DIY craft, notebook doodles, or worn signage, balancing approachability with a touch of grit. It reads as playful and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered marker or brush writing and translate it into a consistent, usable alphabet. The intention appears to prioritize warmth, personality, and tactile texture over strict uniformity, giving layouts an authentic, handcrafted feel.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent handmade logic, with simple construction and rounded terminals that keep words readable even with the distressed texture. Numerals match the same brushy treatment and irregular stroke buildup, maintaining a cohesive color in mixed text.
