A hand-drawn, inked sans with thick, slightly irregular strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified construction and a compact overall footprint, while widths and counters vary from glyph to glyph for an intentionally uneven rhythm. Edges show subtle wobble and texture, as if made with a marker or brush on absorbent paper, producing small bulges, dents, and occasional pinching in joins. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, keeping a cohesive, roughened silhouette in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, social graphics, packaging labels, stickers, and event flyers. It can also work for playful subheads or pull quotes when you want an informal, handcrafted voice.
The font communicates a casual, human tone with a mildly gritty, DIY attitude. Its friendly proportions and rounded forms keep it approachable, while the rough stroke behavior adds a worn, handmade character that feels informal and expressive rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush/marker lettering with a lightly weathered finish, prioritizing warmth and character over geometric precision. It aims to deliver bold, attention-getting letterforms that still feel personal and imperfect, like hand-lettered signage or stamped graphics.
In running text the irregularity reads as a deliberate distressed finish rather than random noise, with strong color and clear word shapes. Round letters like O and 0 appear slightly oblong and hand-cut, and straight stems often show gentle curvature, reinforcing the analog feel.
