A casual, hand-rendered sans with rounded forms and visibly uneven stroke edges, as if drawn with a felt-tip or brush pen and then reproduced with slightly rough printing. Curves are soft and open, terminals are blunt, and stroke thickness fluctuates subtly along each letter, creating an irregular, organic texture. Proportions are generally simple and legible, with single-storey lowercase forms and a gently bouncy baseline feel that gives the text a lively rhythm.
Well-suited to packaging, café or market signage, posters, and craft-oriented branding where a handmade look is desirable. It also works for children’s materials, invitations, and short editorial callouts, especially at display and subhead sizes where the rough ink texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a crafty, homespun character that reads as personal rather than polished. Its roughened outline and slightly wobbly construction suggest authenticity and warmth, leaning playful and approachable while still remaining readable in short passages.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a lightly distressed edge, prioritizing warmth and personality over geometric precision. It aims to deliver an accessible, everyday handwritten feel that remains clear in common words and numerals.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent hand-drawn logic, and the numerals follow the same rounded, slightly imperfect construction for cohesive mixed setting. The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the irregular edges and subtle stroke wobble contribute most to the voice of the design.
