A humanist sans with subtly irregular, ink-worn outlines and softly rounded terminals. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, but the edges show a consistent roughness that mimics worn printing or marker on toothy paper. Proportions are open and readable, with generous counters, a simple single-story “a,” and straightforward, workmanlike forms throughout. The texture introduces mild jitter in curves and joins, giving the line a natural, hand-printed rhythm rather than rigid geometric precision.
Well-suited for posters, packaging, and labels where a tactile, lived-in texture adds character. It also works for short-to-medium editorial passages, captions, and quote graphics when you want a relaxed, handmade voice without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a nostalgic, tactile feel. Its gentle roughness suggests authenticity and craft, evoking printed ephemera, labels, or hand-lettered notes without becoming overly theatrical.
Likely designed to provide a clean, readable base skeleton enhanced by a controlled distressed surface, giving everyday typography a handcrafted, printed-on-paper personality.
Spacing appears even and comfortable for continuous text, while the distressed contouring remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals are plainspoken and legible, matching the same slightly weathered finish as the letters.
