A slanted, hand-drawn sans with brush-like strokes and visibly roughened edges. Letterforms are loosely constructed with subtle wobble in stems and curves, giving an irregular, analog rhythm. Terminals often taper or blunt unevenly, counters stay open and readable, and overall spacing feels natural rather than mechanically uniform. Numerals and punctuation in the sample follow the same textured, marker/brush impression for a cohesive, drawn-on-paper look.
Works well for display-forward applications where a handmade voice is desirable: posters, product packaging, café or boutique branding, event promotions, and social graphics. It can also support short editorial subheads or pull quotes when you want texture and approachability, while extended body copy is best kept to comfortable sizes due to the deliberate roughness.
The texture and forward slant create an informal, personable tone—more sketchbook and craft than corporate polish. Its imperfect contours read as human and energetic, suggesting warmth, spontaneity, and a lightly vintage/DIY character.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush or marker lettering with a controlled distressed finish, delivering an authentic, hand-rendered feel while remaining broadly legible. It aims to provide a ready-made DIY aesthetic for modern branding and themed display typography.
Capitals are simple and sturdy with rounded geometry, while lowercase forms add personality through varied curves and slightly bouncy baseline behavior in running text. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across glyphs, so the roughness reads as intentional styling rather than random degradation.
