A hand-drawn sans with rounded, slightly squarish forms and a deliberately uneven stroke. Edges are ragged and textured, as if made with a dry marker or worn felt tip, giving each letter a soft, imperfect outline. Curves are loosely drawn and counters stay fairly open, while terminals tend to be blunt and irregular rather than crisply cut. Spacing and widths feel naturally inconsistent in a handwritten way, producing a lively, human rhythm in text.
Best suited to posters, flyers, zines, and packaging where a handmade, imperfect finish is desirable. It works well for short headlines, callouts, and brand accents that benefit from organic texture, and can also serve for brief text blocks when a casual, human voice is intended.
The overall tone is casual and tactile, with a mildly gritty, printed-by-hand character. It suggests informality and approachability, leaning toward rustic and DIY rather than polished modernity. The distressed texture adds a slightly raw, street-poster energy without becoming overly chaotic.
The font appears designed to mimic quick hand lettering with the added character of rough printing or a dry tool, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric precision. Its irregular outlines and friendly proportions aim to add warmth and grit to contemporary display typography.
In longer lines, the rough perimeter texture becomes a key identifying feature, especially on round letters and numerals where the outline wobble is most noticeable. The design remains legible at display-to-text sizes, but the intentional irregularity will read more clearly when given enough size and contrast.
