A hand-rendered, marker-like sans with rounded terminals and visibly irregular contours. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness but wobble subtly, with occasional swelling and tapering that suggests quick, felt-tip drawing or rough print pickup. Counters are open and somewhat soft, and curves (C, O, S) show lumpy, organic outlines rather than geometric precision. Spacing and character widths vary slightly, creating a lively rhythm; forms remain clear at text sizes while retaining a textured edge.
Well suited to posters, covers, packaging, and merch that benefits from a handmade, gritty accent. It also works for zines, craft branding, and informal headlines where a rough, personal voice is desired; for longer copy, generous tracking and comfortable leading help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a worn-in, tactile roughness that reads as friendly rather than aggressive. It evokes DIY signage, sketchbook lettering, and lo-fi printed ephemera—approachable, slightly mischievous, and intentionally imperfect.
Likely designed to mimic quick hand lettering with distressed edges, delivering an authentic, analog feel while staying legible and straightforward. The emphasis appears to be on personality, texture, and an unpolished finish that signals casual, creative communication.
Uppercase and lowercase share a simple, non-calligraphic construction, keeping the texture as the main stylistic feature. Numerals follow the same blunt, hand-drawn logic, making the set feel cohesive for short statements and headline use where character is more important than polish.
