A monoline, hand-drawn roman with slightly wobbly strokes and subtly rough, uneven edges that create a dry-ink/pen-on-paper texture. Curves are soft and irregular, terminals are mostly blunt, and joins show gentle inconsistencies that keep the rhythm lively. Proportions lean narrow-to-average with modest apertures; counters stay open enough for readability while retaining an informal, drawn-by-hand feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same lightly irregular construction, producing a cohesive but intentionally imperfect color in text.
Works well for packaging, labels, menus, posters, and headline treatments where a handmade or lightly worn look is desirable. It can also suit short-to-medium passages in editorial or educational materials when a casual, human tone is needed, especially at comfortable text sizes where the texture remains legible.
The overall tone is friendly and unpretentious, with an artisanal, sketchbook quality. Its roughened outlines suggest analog making—hand lettering, quick notes, or lightly weathered printing—giving layouts a human, approachable voice.
Designed to emulate quick, natural hand lettering with a lightly distressed edge, balancing straightforward letter construction with visible human irregularity. The aim appears to be an accessible, everyday roman that adds character and warmth without becoming overly decorative.
Round letters (O/C/G) show a slightly flattened, hand-formed ovality, while straighter forms (E/F/H) keep small waviness along stems and arms. Spacing in the sample reads even, but the textured outlines introduce a lively sparkle that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
