A wiry, hand-drawn roman with subtly uneven stroke weight and deliberately roughened contours that mimic pen-on-paper or worn print. Letterforms are mostly simple and open, with occasional wobble in verticals and horizontals and small edge chatter that creates a distressed silhouette. Curves (notably in C, O, and G) feel slightly faceted and irregular rather than smoothly geometric, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X are sharp and lightly tensioned. Spacing appears airy, with modest, inconsistent sidebearings that reinforce the handmade rhythm.
Works best for display applications where texture and personality are desirable: posters, book and album covers, editorial headlines, rustic packaging, and themed UI or game interfaces. It can also serve for short passages or pull quotes when a handmade, weathered voice is needed, though its irregularities are more effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is informal and tactile, balancing legibility with a scruffy, imperfect charm. It suggests hand lettering, aged signage, or lightly eerie ephemera—more characterful than polished—bringing a playful, slightly uncanny energy to short text.
Likely designed to evoke a hand-inked, imperfect look with lightly distressed edges—prioritizing atmosphere and tactility over strict typographic regularity. The intent appears to be a versatile character face that reads clearly while still conveying a crafted, worn-in aesthetic.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey simplicity (a, g), and the figures share the same sketched, uneven finish. The distressed texture is present but not so heavy that counters collapse, making the font readable while still visibly rough around the edges.
