A humanist, hand-rendered sans with subtly irregular outlines and gently uneven stroke edges that suggest dry-brush or worn printing. Forms are mostly open and rounded, with simple geometry and softened corners; curves (C, O, S) feel smooth but slightly wobbly. Stroke endings are blunt and minimally tapered, and width varies modestly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, made-by-hand rhythm. Numerals are straightforward and legible, with the same lightly distressed perimeter treatment.
Well-suited to short copy and display settings where a casual, tactile voice is helpful—packaging, café or market signage, posters, invitations, and brand accents for handmade or local products. It can also work for pull quotes and headings in editorial layouts when a friendly, imperfect tone is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and craft-forward, like lettering from a notebook, handmade sign, or stamped packaging. Its mild roughness adds personality without becoming chaotic, giving a friendly, lived-in feel that reads as authentic and unpretentious.
Designed to mimic informal hand lettering with a controlled, lightly worn finish, balancing readability with an intentionally imperfect surface. The goal appears to be adding warmth and personality to otherwise simple sans letterforms through subtle edge distress and natural variation.
The texture is consistent across the character set, functioning more as edge wear than heavy grunge. Spacing appears comfortable in text, and the design maintains clarity at paragraph sizes while still showing its handmade character at larger display settings.
