A handwritten, monoline sans with tall, narrow proportions and softly rounded terminals. Strokes show subtle roughness and uneven edges, mimicking marker or brush-pen texture, with occasional interior streaking that suggests dry ink or imperfect printing. Letterforms are simple and open, with gently irregular curves and a lightly variable rhythm across glyphs; counters stay clear while some joins and stems wobble slightly for an organic feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, keeping a consistent texture and an easy, approachable silhouette.
Best suited for display use where texture and personality are desirable—posters, playful branding, packaging, titles, and social graphics. It can work for short paragraphs at comfortable sizes, but the distressed edges and narrow proportions make it most effective for headings, pull quotes, and punchy copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick hand-lettering on a sign or note. Its mild distress and ink texture add warmth and a human touch, giving it a crafty, DIY character rather than a polished corporate voice.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick, hand-drawn lettering with a lightly worn, inked finish—combining straightforward sans construction with an intentionally imperfect, tactile texture for expressive display typography.
Spacing reads intentionally loose and airy in the sample text, helping the narrow shapes remain legible. The texture is visible even at larger text sizes, where the rough edges and streaks become a key part of the style.
