A hand-drawn sans with monoline-like construction that’s broken up by rough, sketchy edges and occasional interior scuffing, as if traced with a dry marker or brush pen. Strokes show visible wobble and variable pressure artifacts, creating high-contrast moments where counters and joins look slightly scraped or overworked. Proportions are generally simple and geometric (round O, open C), but widths and stroke terminations vary from glyph to glyph, giving the set an intentionally imperfect rhythm. The texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a slightly bouncy baseline and irregular terminals that read as worn ink rather than clean vectors.
Well-suited for short headlines, posters, and titles where a handmade texture adds character. It can work effectively for artisanal packaging, café or market signage, and craft-oriented branding systems, especially when paired with clean supporting text for body copy.
The overall tone feels casual and handmade, with a crafty, slightly grungy charm. It conveys an approachable, DIY energy—more playful than aggressive—suggesting informal notes, packaging, or poster lettering with personality.
The design appears intended to mimic quick hand-lettering with visible ink wear—capturing the spontaneity of a marker sketch while retaining straightforward sans structures for legibility.
The sample text shows good readability at display sizes where the rough texture becomes a feature; at smaller sizes the distressed edge detail may visually thicken and soften letter boundaries. Numerals and punctuation match the same drawn texture, keeping a cohesive, analog look across mixed content.
