A monoline, upright roman with compact proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes are slightly wobbly and uneven, with rough, ink-pressed edges that create a consistently distressed texture across the alphabet and figures. Counters are open and simple, terminals tend to blunt off rather than sharpen, and curves (notably in O, C, G, S) keep a hand-drawn roundness. The overall rhythm is lively and organic, with small per-glyph irregularities that read like imperfect stamping or marker lettering rather than precise geometric construction.
Works best in display and short-to-medium text where texture is an asset: posters, product packaging, labels, café menus, event flyers, and brand accents for handmade or heritage themes. It can also suit editorial pull quotes or captions when you want an informal, printed texture without sacrificing basic readability.
The texture and wobble give the face a human, tactile tone—casual and approachable, with a vintage, printed-by-hand feel. It suggests craft, DIY signage, and worn ephemera rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink or worn printing—capturing the look of hand-rendered lettering reproduced through a rough press or photocopy. Its goal seems to be adding warmth and authenticity, introducing subtle noise and irregularity while keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
Uppercase forms stay straightforward and legible, while the lowercase retains the same roughened edge treatment, helping paragraphs feel cohesive without looking overly formal. Numerals match the hand-rendered character, with simple shapes and slightly uneven curves that keep them consistent with the letters.
