A rough, hand-drawn sans with uneven stroke edges and subtly wobbly contours, as if made with a dry brush or marker on textured paper. Strokes stay mostly monoline but show natural thick–thin variation from pressure and speed, with blunt terminals and occasional flares. Counters are open and slightly irregular, and spacing/sidebearings feel loosely tuned, giving lines an organic rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and simple; lowercase forms are compact and legible, with a single-storey “a” and a looped “g” that reinforce the informal, handwritten construction.
Best suited to display applications where texture is an asset: posters, album/cover art, craft or food packaging, event flyers, and branding that wants a handmade or street-sign flavor. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when set generously with comfortable leading, but the rough edges and irregular rhythm are most convincing in headlines and medium-to-large sizes.
The texture reads as tactile and lived-in—casual and approachable, with a mildly gritty, DIY character. It suggests hand-painted signage and rough printing, balancing friendly warmth with a touch of edge.
The design appears intended to capture an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered look—prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric precision—while keeping letterforms straightforward enough to remain readable in real-world layouts.
Digits are rounded and energetic, matching the letterforms’ irregular baseline feel. The overall color is dark and slightly mottled, producing strong presence at display sizes while retaining readable word shapes in short text.
