A light, monoline sans with softly irregular outlines that read like ink on textured paper. Strokes keep a consistent overall weight, but edges wobble and fray slightly, producing a subtly distressed contour rather than sharp, machined geometry. Curves are generously rounded (notably in O, C, and e), terminals are plain and unflared, and the construction stays straightforward with open counters and clear joins. Spacing feels even and readable in text, while the uneven perimeter adds a gentle, organic rhythm across lines.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a casual, handmade impression is desirable—posters, packaging, café menus, small-brand identity, quotes, and editorial callouts. It can also work for light body copy when a subtle textured tone is acceptable, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The face conveys a handmade, approachable tone—more sketchbook than corporate. Its worn edges and slight jitter give it a lived-in, crafty character that feels informal and human, with a hint of playful quirkiness rather than grunge heaviness.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, simple sans structure with the warmth of imperfect, analog rendering. By keeping proportions and spacing conventional while roughening the contour, it targets legibility first and personality second—adding texture without sacrificing clarity.
The distressed effect is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, showing as minor roughness rather than heavy erosion. Forms remain legible at paragraph size, though the texture becomes more noticeable in large settings where the uneven outline reads as an intentional stylistic feature.
