A hand-rendered sans with blunt terminals and subtly wobbly strokes that mimic marker or brush lettering. Edges are roughened and slightly irregular, producing a lightly distressed texture without breaking letterforms. Curves are open and rounded, counters stay generously clear, and stroke modulation is minimal, giving an even, readable rhythm despite the imperfect outlines. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and straightforward punctuation-like dots, reinforcing the informal construction.
Works well for short-to-medium text in applications that benefit from a tactile, informal voice—packaging, café or market signage, posters, labels, and playful branding. It’s especially effective when you want legibility with a visible handmade texture, and when paired with clean supporting type for contrast.
The overall tone feels approachable and human, with a handmade roughness that reads as casual and slightly quirky rather than aggressive. Its imperfect contours suggest craft, DIY signage, or printed ephemera, creating a warm, unpolished charm.
Likely designed to simulate quick hand lettering with a lightly worn print feel, balancing clear shapes with organic imperfections. The aim appears to be an easygoing display face that brings personality and texture to headings and branding without sacrificing readability.
The set maintains consistent cap height and baseline behavior, but embraces small inconsistencies in width and curvature that enhance the drawn-by-hand effect. Numerals are similarly simple and sturdy, matching the letters’ rounded, slightly uneven silhouettes.
