A compact, hand-drawn sans with softly squared forms and noticeably irregular, ink-pressed edges. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, but wobble subtly, with occasional blobby terminals and small nicks that suggest rough printing or a marker/brush texture. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the overall construction is simple and legible, with friendly rounded joins and slightly inconsistent character widths that reinforce the handmade rhythm.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a handmade, worn-in voice is desired—such as posters, product packaging, labels, café menus, craft branding, and editorial headlines. The textured edges can fill in at very small sizes, so it’s best when given enough size and breathing room.
The font reads informal and tactile, like lettering stamped, sketched, or printed on coarse paper. Its roughness adds a gritty, DIY energy while the rounded shapes keep the tone approachable rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a clean, readable alphabet with the character of rough print or casual marker lettering, adding human warmth and a subtly weathered finish without sacrificing clarity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, simplified drawing style, with a single-story lowercase “a” and generally straightforward numeral forms. The texture is consistent across the set, making it feel intentionally distressed rather than randomly degraded.
